Step-Up to Medicine (Step Up)by Steven S. Agabegi
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Here is the first single, primary review tool to prepare students for both the internal medicine clerkship and the corresponding end-rotation NBME shelf examination. This logical alternative to several, limited-focus books blends a bullet-outline format students prefer in a review book with comprehensive paragraphs, as needed, for optimal preparation. A wealth of illustrations, charts, tables, graphs, and mnemonics speed and supplement learning. Ample content without superfluous detail enables students to readily evaluate and expand their knowledge of cardiology, pulmonary medicine, gastroenterology, hematology, neurology, endocrinology, rheumatology, nephrology, genitourinary disorders, fluids and electrolytes, dermatology, and musculoskeletal problems. Book News Annotation:Written especially for third-year medical students, this review and
study guide covers the range of pathology encountered during the
internal medicine clerkship and the corresponding end-rotation NBME
shelf examination. The book blends a bulleted outline format with
only the necessary amount of explanatory detail, with material
organized by body system. Case questions serve as a self-assessment
tool, allowing students to think through clinical scenarios without
answer choices influencing their thought process. This second edition
contains margin key facts and pearls. In light of the recent emphasis
on evidence-based medicine, there is a new section in the appendix
introducing the basics of biostatistics, and new material on key
concepts required for critically appraising the medical literature.
There is a new test presenting 100 USMLE-style clinical
vignette-based questions with answers. Color clinical photos and b&w
medical images are included. The book is for students preparing for
the medicine clerkship, shelf exams, and the USMLE Step 2. Author
information is not given.
