Customer Reviews: Not quite what I expected My opinion might not be quite fair because I was not going through the whole book but looked up (proofed) some "high yield" topics instead, usually important for the board exam. One example is "typical pulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis" and I could not find the right info. That's why I sent this book back. My experience with the ABIM Exam is that you not only have to have the right amount of facts handy but also be able to differentiate between very similiar disease presentations, and that all in very short time. This is a tricky situation, especially for non native speakers (I am german). For board exam preparation you need a book that focuses exactly on these factors and at the same time giving you the right amount of facts . As far as I can tell the MKSAP and the MedStudy IM Board Review are the only ones that can give you that. Both about 400$ each!
Two thumbs up! Amazing book! Definitely a must-have for anyone interested in internal medicine. Highly recommend! Thorough, beautifully-organized, and extremely well-written! Get this book....You won't be disappointed!
Extremely helpful BOOK Excellent review book, covers 95% of topics and could be done in a resonable time, make easy reading.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
An Excellent Resource! Whether you are preparing to take the Internal Medicine boards for the first time or preparing for recertification, this is an excellent resource. It is well-organized, concise, and comprehensive. The questions are challenging and pertinent with clear answers that emphasize the teaching point being made. The outline format highlights important points about each subject. In our program, we are also using this book as a resource for everyday teaching during morning report and other clinical conferences. Overall, I am very satisfied with this book and highly recommend it!
