Appleton & Lange's Review of Obstetrics and Gynecology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Good content. Some of the answers are out of date even though this is the "new" edition. Also, lacked quite a bit on clinical vignettes. However, if you want to ace the shelf exam, do ALL 1600 questions and you will be completely covered!

Supply Management Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the textbook that every Purchasing professional must have on the shelf. It is written by the gurus in the field that helped to define the profession and set standards by developing the professional certification requirements.
The book establishes common language to describe Purchasing core processes that are applicable across industry and organizational lines. Because of the common language it establishes it can be really helpfull for someone who has been in a single industry or organization for some time that wants to transition to another industry but only knows the terms from their previos field.
For example someone involved in government procurement wishing to transition to the private sector might find the book usefull. Furthermore, it is written in the same language as appears on the NAPM APP and CPM examinations.
I have used the book both in a Purchasing Masters Degree Program at St Marys College in California and also in a Purchasing Certificate Program offered by the University of Phoenix and the material and cases are always well received by the students. The cases in particular are good and provide a common ground for people who have used the book.
There are some other books out there and new gurus are emerging but for now this is still the best.

Case Files: Obstetrics & Gynecology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Echoing the sentiments of previous reviewers, this book basically has 30-40% of the Ob/Gyn shelf within its pages. A lot of my friends read the book as well and were similarly amazed at its mimcry. Some of the questions seem to directly stem from the 60 cases in this text. You're hurting yourself by NOT reading this. It provides a good foundation for the major scenarios you might encounter in Ob/Gyn. It's particularly effective because the Ob/Gyn shelf is really specialized to the field and doesn't have too many general medicine questions like other clerkship tests.
That said, it should be noted this is not a textbook. You won't really get the ins and outs of fetal monitoring, birth, etc. This book is best utilized about a week from the exam or very early with the intent of RETAINING the specific scenarios. A good book to read to fully flesh out the subject would be Blueprints in Ob/Gyn.
A quick, effective read that's the easiest way to bettering your shelf score. If you enjoy your off time in med school, this is a great way to cram.

The closest you can get to seeing patientswithout being on the wards!Students need exposure to cases to pass the USMLE Step 2 and the obstetrics and gynecology shelf exam.This book presents 60 clinical cases illustrating essential concepts in obstetrics and gynecology.Perfect for the clerkship and the USMLE Step 2, each case includes an extended discussion, definitions of key terms, clinical pearls, and USMLE-style review questions.This interactive learning system helps you to learn instead of memorize.*60 ob/gyn cases with complete discussions*Clinical pearls highlight key points*USMLE-style comprehension questions with each case*Primer on how to approach the patient*Proven learning system improves shelf exam scores"Superior to other case file books." --Chang-Kun Choi, Medical Student, Midwestern University School of Medicine"Using clinical scenarios not only makes the reading fun and interesting, but it is far more engaging than sitting down with a bulleted text and reviewing detail after detail. This is a much better way to learn clinical information. I have not read a book like this before, and I certainly have enjoyed it." -–Eric Hossler, Medical Student, James H. Quillen College of Medicine"I LOVED this book!I would recommend this book to all third-year students… The book uses a clinical approach and does not lose sight of the pathophysiology behind the disease -- GREAT preparation for being on the wards!The subject matter is also deceptively detailed, with much more information than one normally finds in a text of case files.The reader can use this book as either a rigorous self-test or a read-through introduction to the subject.Once again - a GREAT text!" -–Elizabeth Johnston, Medical Student, Emory University
