MacMed2020 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hey there, couldn't find any posts about this but please direct me to them if I missed them. As someone coming from a very traditional/didactic background, I was wondering if any current Mac students had any textbooks that they would recommend or found particularly useful in terms of prepping for tutorials. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameltingbanana Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Cardiology: Lilly's, The only EKG book you'll ever need (Thaler) Respirology: I used Harrison's for this section primarily Hematology: Harrison's, Pathophysiology of Blood Disorders GI: First Principles of Gastroenterology, Harrison's (seeing a trend yet?) Endo: Greenspan's That should hold you over from MF1-2. Also make sure you use resources like Medscape, UpToDate to understand things from a clinical perspective as well (e.g. what investigations have the most sensitivity/specificity, what you might see on physical exam, etc.). These textbooks are great for understanding pathophys, but kinda fall flat in this regard. Also start to train yourself to learn approaches to things - patients will rarely walk in and say "I am having a myocardial infarction", they'll say "I'm having chest pain". So accordingly, you need an approach to chest pain. Textbooks are not good for this IMO; you'll learn this in clinical skills, and it'll be reinforced in clerkship. Just something to keep in mind.

a7x Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 PDFs and free online access are available for all of the above FYI so no need to go out and buy them. An uptodate subscription is also not a bad idea but it can be very verbose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
