STUDENT QUOTES

"The important details are highlighted, preventing the reader form getting bogged down in boring,unimportant text."

" I thought it was an outstanding overview of difficult material."

From the Back Cover
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.

Customer Reviews

blueprints in medicine (blue prints series)
The best thing i liked about this book is its clear, concise presentation of a complex subject. It is an excellent review book with outstanding presentation.what it is not is - it is'nt a comprehensive book for medicine but it covers all the common and high yield topics in internal medicine.Deals on the basis of symptomatology and diseases, a problem oriented approach which is very useful for usmle step2 and 3. The discussions deal with the disease, the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis and the diagnostic evaluation and treatment, all this in a very readable 3-4 pages with a summary of the keypoints at the end.The diagnostic evaluation and treatment part is very thorough.A must for anyone preparing for usmle step2 and 3. I highly recommend this book.

Concise and to the point
A good ,comprehensive book for step-2 preparation may not cover all the topics but since Internal Medicine is so vast a topic only a book like Harrison can do justice.But then who has time to read Harrison? This is the next best alternative

Excellent review for wards and Step 2
This book helped me rock Step 2. It may be inappropriate for Step 3, but for Step 2 it's very good. If you want concise review of relevant, high-yield topics in internal medicine, look no further. Helps for 3rd year rotations too.
