Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 616 EAN: 9780781775311 Edition: 4 ISBN: 0781775310 Label: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Manufacturer: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 403 Publication Date: 2006-11 Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Studio: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Editorial Review: Product Description: This book is one of five in the Blueprints Series. This title presents the principles of Internal Medicine in a succinct format that complements the structure of the USMLE Step 2 exam. It can be used as a stand-alone text for the Internal Medicine clinical rotation, or in conjunction with other titles in the series for a comprehensive review for the USMLE Step 2 & 3 exams. The second edition of this book will include 125 clinical vignette style questions at the end of the book. The series format is consistent for all five titles; each title presents short expositions on one of the five key clinical topics. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Who was the moron who edited this book?This book is absolutely rife with grammatical and spelling errors. If poor editing (or, more likely in this case, NO editing) bothers you, do NOT buy this book, as you will be too distracted by the numerous errors to concentrate on the content. Here are some of the more blatant examples from chapter 70: Paraneoplastic's Disorders; Endocrine's Disorders; Neurologic's Disorders; Hematologic's Disorders; Dermatologic's Disorders. Please, people -- it's called spell check, or use your half of a brain ... Read More Rating: - Blueprints-medicineBlueprints series is overall pretty good. The Medicine book is a quick read that will give the reader a sufficient amount of knowledge and detail regarding that subject matter, however I think that it is appropriate to supplement some of the chapters with Cecil's to get a full understanding of the material. Overall, I recommend this book because it is a quick read and it isnt in the "bullet" style format that many of the books are- but rather in a flowing paragraph form. Rating: - A good sourceI have just finished my internal medicine rotation and found this book quite useful to study from. It is easy to find relevant material and it had everything but the very most recent research, which you won't get in any book anyway. Overall, I use it and plan on using it as a reference when needing to go over internal medicine again. P.S. I also find Harrisons necessary, and the washington manual of course. Rating:  - great book!! this book is great as a complement to other "heavier" sources, but it really gets you a feel of the topic you choose and its super easy to read! i aced step 2 thanks to this book, first aid and a lot of quetions!(usmleworld and nms 2007). you wont regret it!!! Rating: - MUST HAVE FOR IM ROTATIONFirst I have to say the Blueprints Medicine book is probably the best review book I've ever read. It does not replace the Washington Manual or UPTODATE, but its very helpful to have with you. While it's a bit larger than the UCV or BRS style books, I feel it is worth it. With each chapter averaging 6-15 pages it makes for a very flexible review schedule. If a student were to read it while on a medicine for 4-8 weeks it makes for a great nightly read. At the same time using it as a board review book ... Read More |
