Best Ideas For Resources Between Preclerkship & Clerkship


Recommended Posts

Hi all

Just curious to see if anybody has any good books / resources to help in the transition from 2nd to 3rd year; or from basic sciences to clinical-type thinking more generally?
 

LANGE case files in family medicine

From Symptom to Diagnosis

 

These come to mind..

Does anybody have any other suggestions?

 

Thanks!

What I've used and really loved during clerckship

 

  • Current medical diagnosis and treatment and Uptodate for any medical rotation (internal medicine, geriatric, family med)
  • Blueprints Obstetrics and Gynecology : by far the best book I've read as a clerck (and I have never really been interested in obgyn). Very well written and summarized. 
  • Toronto Notes for general surgery. Sadly, I didn't find any better for that rotation. Seriously, I hate this book.
  • I'm realizing that I didn't read anything specific for ped and psych. 

Other I used for my electives:

  • Orthobullets and ortho traumapedia (website and mobile application) for ortho (obviously)
  • Grabb and Smith's Plastic Surgery and Michigan Manual of Plastic Surgery : 2 must have for plastic surgery

I used T notes for most of clerkship. Sometimes first aid

 

I hated case files for ANY specialty. I found it took too long per case to get to the small amount of learbing material covered in that case. Others I know loved it. Depends how you process information.

 

Gen. Surg didn't really have a good book, and I tried a bunch.

 

For IM I used USMLE world and did a ton of SAQs, along with the reading.
