Pocket Medicine: The Massachusetts General Hospital Handbook of Internal Medicine (Pocket Notebook Series)

As a chief resident, we purchased this for our incoming interns to replace the previous survival guide. This is EBM medicine, with sources provided. I used this to study for IM boards along with medstudy and mksap with good results. I would read medstudy, then use this book to paraphrase what i just read and get "bullet-points." very effective on wards. better for inpt >outpt management. pretty amazing bang for its buck and the book i take with me everywhere.

A must have for Internal Medicine rotations as medical student or resident. Not great for learning topics in depth the first time, but the high yield bullets and diagrams let you manage most of the big topics.

But you already knew that. Just buy it already!

One of the best. Buy this one if you would only buy one. Very readable.

I did not know what i was missing till i bought this book....it holds a surprisingly large amount of info given its size....a must have for all medicine residents.....
