Review:

Internal Medicine

Great book for medicine. This book helps you to apply medicine. It takes you through cases and not only questions you on what the diag. is, approiate treatment / test / medication regimen etc. but explains why the answer is what it is.


Review:

Case Files in Internal Medicine

All of the books in this series have been fantastic. Highly readable. Great for board review, or just to keep your mind sharp.


Review:

Excellent for clerkships and the shelf

Great book! Really covered the minute details one needs to have a handle of at the hand of the IM clerkship. Very useful for boards and easy to read format. Only drawback is that sometimes the title of the case doesn't really explain all the info that will be packed into the case. I definitely recommend reading it early in the rotation and reading it well!


Review:

Good Supplement for Internal Med

Case Files is well made and good at what it covers. The format is very readable, giving you a scenario and making you think of a diagnosis and plan. It's much better than skimming a heavy albeit more complete text. That said, while 60 case scenarios are a lot, it can't hit everything, and it's important to have a wide base of knowledge for the Internal Med Clerkship. I read this after reading First Aid for Internal Med a few times, and while I picked up a couple of things that I had little clue about, it mainly reinforced what was in that book. I would recommend Case Files for people who 1) like the scenario format and can't stand outlines/bullets/texts 2) are close to taking the shelf exam and want an indication as to how questions might be constructed. MKSAP, however, is probably the closest to the exam you can get. Once again, this is a great supplement, but I would not use this as a primary / singular source.
