Last Minute Internal Medicine: A Concise Review for the Specialty Boards (Last Minute Series) Review

Last Minute Internal Medicine: A Concise Review for the Specialty Boards (Last Minute Series)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Essentially a graph and chart review of internal medicine topics. Most are 10-40 pages in length. Gives important points, but not in-depth detail. It may have been a little better format if the charts were all portrait rather than alternating portrait/landscape. For last minute study, it will help you identify key words and phrases. But if you have more study time, use this in conjunction with a standard medical text.

Katzung & Trevor's Pharmacology Examination and Board Review, Ninth Edition (McGraw-Hill Specialty Board Review) Review

Katzung and Trevor's Pharmacology Examination and Board Review, Ninth Edition (McGraw-Hill Specialty Board Review)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just received this book a few days ago and have read the first few chapters. My impression is that this is a great mix of board review with actual pharmacology. Don't expect in-depth cell-signaling though. This isn't the point of this book. It's a pharm book for med students looking to prep for the boards.
The pictures are in color and very pretty. LOTS of multiple choice questions at the end of each chapters. Probably a worthwhile investment for most medical students who want a dedicated pharmacology review text.
