Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Review Book
I've been using this book for the past few weeks in conjunction with the new MKSAP 14 questions. Thus far just about everything the MKSAP has tested can be found in the book. Its very easy to read, high yield and very well priced. The only complaint is the index. Like all the rest of the First Aid series, its horrible. That aside, this book is a great find.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Excellent quick review
This is an extraordinary board preparation material as it basically includes the core of the requirements posted by ABIM. It is easy to read; with very affordable tables and images. I highly recommend it to be read through residency as it highlights important core concepts that you can go and research further for a deeper insight in other kind of textbooks or resources. Is very complementary to MKSAP and MedStudy as it let you round and define the important core material. This book provides a nice ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very useful
This book contains a lot of excellent tables, algorithms and summaries that I could not find in any other review book. It seems to be a great companion while doing review questions. I also found this book to be an outstanding source when I prepared for work rounds to teach the interns and students. I can highly recommend this book to all residents. I wish I had it when I started my residency.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Review by 3rd year resident

It is more concise than other review books out there coming in over just 600 pages and is very much more affordable. Most review books out there cost hundreds of dollars and are just too long to read more than once. First Aid for IM review is organized by disease system and then is broken down signs/symptoms, differential, diagnosis and treatment. There ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - So you want to be an Internist?
Good overall general review of internal medicine. A little too basic for serious IM board review, however. Would probably be most appropriate for a busy first year resident/intern in internal medicine or family practice. Might even be just right for a bright fourth year medical student aspiring to join the ranks of IM.
I would STRONGLY recommend the Internal Medicine Medstudy books as the backbone of your review prior to taking the ABIM certifying or recertifying exam!!! The Medstudy DVDs ... Read More
