Students who are preparing for these exams and are thinking about a residency in medicine, as well as current internal medicine residents will also be way ahead of the game when it comes time to sit for the medicine boards, that one last boards we take in your third year of medicine residency. This book is concise, thorough, and fully-outlined, so you will clearly see the relationship between all the key concepts you'll have to know and what you'll need to know. It also features tons of great mnemonics you'll thank your lucky stars for. Speaking of stars, we know you'll appreciate our ample use of formatting, especially the use of ***starred items *** to help direct your attention to particularly important material and/or common or recurring themes on the exams. You should know that this book is an excellent companion to the FRONTRUNNERS 2008 INTERNAL MEDICINE Q&A REVIEW, which features over 1300 Q&A with explanations to prepare you for battle. If you're a mnemonics fan (and who isn't?), and you like the ones here, then you'll definitely want to check out TURBO MNEMONICS FOR THE BOARDS 2008, featuring over 400 MEMORY AIDS to the Most Commonly Asked Material on the USMLE Clinical Steps & Medicine Boards. You'll find these and other invaluable resources on the very last page of this book, the "Quick Order Form". Even if you're not prepping for the boards, these resources comprise the best no-nonsense review of internal medicine you'll find anywhere. It's our job to ensure nothing comes close. Founded in the same tradition of excellence of our popular Internal Medicine Board Review Course, Nail the Boards remains today much of the same core material for our board review course, which has seen unparalleled pass rates among its students on the boards. The course has been widely and enthusiastically received for its unconventional, no-nonsense approach to the review of internal medicine. Unfortunately, thousands of physicians, wanting to pass their boards, are simply unable to attend a formal board review course due to time or geographic constraints. For those physicians especially, this book will be a welcome review, and is ideal for the internal medicine components of the USMLE Steps 2 & 3. This book is completely outlined, so that the relationship between concepts is crystal clear--no more guessing! You'll also find tons of key mnemonics you'll definitely be using on your exam, along with contributive formatting through the efficient use of bolds, underlining, italics, boxed-in points, and of course, the *** STARRED ITEMS ***, reflecting commonly asked material on the medicine boards; truly an outstanding way to capitalize on those last few hours before your exam. A thorough and realistically designed Index section, makes those last-minute look-ups a cinch! From the outlined presentation to the contributive formatting, to the starred items to the index to the concept links, every aspect of this book has been designed with quick assimilation and excellence in mind. We want to share that excellence with you, because if you've read this far, your standards are ultra-high like ours. Frontrunners' motto, "When all you wanna know is what you GOTTA know !" reflects our realistic "this-is-what-you-have-to-know" philosophy toward board review that has consistently churned out top national pass rates among its students from year to year on the clinical board exams. We also passionately hold to the philosophy that, "Hey, if you know an easier way to board review, why not share it with others?" Now in its fifth edition, Nail the Boards has met with tremendous success, but that success has only come about through your successes on the boards.. To our students, collaborators, and colleagues, thank you for all the board review material you've contributed over the years. Your contributions have raised the bar in board review with pass rates on the USMLE Steps 2 & 3 that remain unmatchedWhether it's board review or self-assessment, take these books; learn them; and excel.

 Rating:  - just enough--geared for boardsI am currently in nurse practitioner (NP) school and am studying within the acute/critical care track (ACNP). As a NP student, I believe this book to be a valuable 'quick and dirty' reference. I will be using this as a supplement throughout practice, residency and for my certification boards. Rating: - Still the best review bookJust finished taking step 2 & 3...I highly recommend NAIL THE BOARDS, The Ultimate Internal Medicine Review for USMLE STEPS 2 & 3 ... , it is concise and, most importantly, the information in the text is relevant to the actual exam. This book is the most current resource reflecting the new changes to USMLE step 2 and 3. The book is up to date and contains all the major topics needed for step 2 & 3. This book contains a lot of excellent contains and summaries that I could not find in any other review ... Read More Rating: - Super Choice for Step 3I initially heard of this book from the 2nd & 3rd year residents in our program. A lot of them used it for their Step 3 and were successful and loved it. I was skeptical at first because this exam was important to me for a number of reasons. In any case, my experience was much the same as theirs, and I did extremely well, as with my predecessors, but I wanted to provide greater detail that I know will help you. I was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time totally relieved, when I sat for the exam ... Read More Rating: - Another Success StorySolid review for Step 3. My friend used it for his Step 2 too and loved it, but my only experience was for 3. I like the way the book's organized by medicine subspecialties (Cards, GI, Renal, Tox, etc) and the outline is a huge time-saver while leaving nothing to the imagination. GREAT book and a zealous recommend. Rating: - High Scores for this Ultimate Review!Relatively inexpensive as for as board reviews go, but POWERPACKED with all the key info, concisely presented, and beautifully organized. I passed my USMLE Step 3 with flying colors. Definitely have to recommend this one.
