Title: Best Practice for Internal Med Shelf
Review: This book is basically MKSAP 2 except with different questions. That's good since MKSAP 2 was well made. There were several things I liked about MKSAP. It covered a variety of illnesses and grouped them by symptom (so if you felt weak in pulmonary you could easily find sections applicable to that field). The American College of Physicians wrote it, which is quite comforting. It references appropriate research articles for every Q&A.; Finally, like a shelf, it forced you to make tough decisions. In reality, you order just above every lab and whatever imaging you need to cover yourself. Board questions, though, make you choose the best test from what you would always order.I preferred using the CD-ROM with the book (well made) as I could do questions much faster rather than flipping through a book.MKSAP 3 is slightly better than 2 in that it does reference more recent materials and protocols, and it seems to repeat certain concepts less.
Is the review positive or negative?
