This book is preparing for the USMLE CS.A various clinical situations are very interesting and helpful.Other related informations of the CS test also have helpful.

Great book

Better than expected. Thanks!

good

I got this book because I knew that my learning style was to work it out now and look back to see what I need to fix. Sure enough this book was great because I passed without a problem. This book is great because it presents a case as would be presented during the USMLE step 2 cs and gives you a a blank page to write down questions that you would want to ask the patient or physical exam testing that you would want to do. Once you are done with the question asking, you can compare your approach with that of the book's. I also found it helpful that the book explained why you may or may not want to ask certain questions. Granted that this is a free response type of testing, you may not necessarily find the answer to every single question you ask, but then again, not finding your question may just help you understand that it is not relevant to the case.I also found it very helpful for such cases in which you perform just the physical exam. With the current patient presentation, you can ask yourself what you would do for the PE, and you can check the list provided in the book to see what you missed or need to work on. The list should give you an idea for what the testers look for, i.e. washing your hands with every encounter. Again, the book explains why certain exams need to be performed and what the PE testing abnormalities indicate.This book is also great in that it helps to try to direct your thinking and your differential diagnosis for the most common presentations. When I took my USMLE, I actually had a lot of the same cases that were from the book, such as the sensorineural hearing vs conductive hearing loss cases. There was even a psychiatric case where I had to write a minimental status exam for the test.I highly recommend this book if your learning style is the kinesthetic type, i.e you learn better with hands on situations rather than just sitting and reading a book.

Fast shipping. Condition better than expected. Would buy from this seller again.

Not great for studying but my teacher pulls case scenarios like this to have us practice on. With zero feedback though I can't tell how much of an impact it has on my learning besides it's just a good book filled with case scenarios.

Really great case studies - strongly recommend this edition for studying

この教科書通りに試験でやったら落ちるんじゃないか？と思わせる。例えばpatient note のfollow up で治療方法をいれていたり、診断を断定した上での患者へ説明するようを求めていたり、、、一応一通り目を通したが、参考になりそうなところだけ記憶にとどめておいた。
