I’ve heard a lot of good things about this book all over the world, but is this book good for usmlestep2 and 3? I want to know. It ‘d be so good if the editor let us see even a small sample of this book.I don’t want to spend about 80 dollars to buy a book before seeing it.
The authors of this book are the best but..I want to see a sample!!!!!
Rating: 5 / 5
THESE GUYS ARE JUST TOO GOOD…….
I HAVE PRETTY MUCH BEEN THROUGH ALL THE MATERIAL THAT IS AVAILABLE…..
UNTIL THIS BOOK CAME ALONG, ALL THE MATERIAL THAT WAS AVAILABLE WAS TOO VOLUMINOUS AND LOW YIELD.
UNLIKE BOARD REVIEW COURSES,THIS BOOKS MAKES YOU A SMART TEST TAKER AND A SMART DOCTOR…..VERY UP-TO DATE AND USEFUL STUFF….JUST WHAT ONE NEEDS…….VERY LUCID…..THOUGHT PROVOKING
WORTH THE PRICE AND THE WAIT……
THE AUTHORS HAVE CONTINUED THEIR STREAK OF EXCELLENT BOOKS…..
Rating: 5 / 5
This book is very good in terms of its simplicity and very well summarized contents
Rating: 4 / 5
Concise review with good enough details. Easy to read with well laid out design and print.
Rating: 4 / 5
great book, just depends on what are you using it for,my specialty is not internal medicine, but taking the USMLE CK and step 3 entails much knowledge for internal medicine , this book is very useful and conclusive for this level of knowledge , perhaps the book might be inadequate for an internist who reads Harrison for breakfast
LOL , so it all depends on your prospectives
the lay out is the favorite first aid lay out with a lot of tables (may be too much ! ) with the side margins notes
the bad written chapters
1- geriatrics
2- critical care
chapters that could be improved
1- cardiology
2- endocrinology ( a big mess with cushing syndrome )
3- ambulatory care
chapters need to be added
1- sports medicine
overall for a non internist like me , i find it the most useful and least painful for a rapid review ( its a review don’t expect an uptodate or MKSAP level of details here )
for the ABIM I’ll leave that to the pros in this area.
