Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I read this book the week before my clinical skill exam. The first section contains general information about the testing center areas. There are hotels listed, restaurants, and transportation suggestions. The next section contains information about the format of the exam and the expectations. It reviews how to introduce yourself, what types of questions to ask, and what to do in the physical exam. I appreciated this since I had been on surgery the past couple of rotations, so I needed a refresher. The next section had "mini-cases". They gave little scenarios, then a good differential and examples of diagnostic studies to order. The last section had more in-depth cases. The formats given were the same as the real exam. They give you check-offs that are specific on what information you should get. It also has tips on difficult patients you might encounter. Then, a sample note is given. It takes a while to get through the book, and it is such an annoying test to prepare for! But I was nervous and this book allowed me to feel well prepared. I will delete this post if I don't end up passing!!
