Borrowing from our experience administering board reviews over the years, FRONTRUNNERS BOARD REVIEW has passionately in medicine and the medicine components of the USMLE, as well as current trends in content. We want to be able to share those ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS with you now and do it in a way that is both engaging and, most importantly, memorable! All of us remember what a lifesaver mnemonics were during our basic sciences, particularly when it came time and tensions were running high. Memory aids saved us tons of time and always improved performance. But there are astonishingly few such resources available in clinical medicine, particularly when it comes to board preparation, certainly not on this magnitude. Clinical mnemonics aren t only important because they help you remember better and recall quicker! They serve two other very important roles. First, they function as TEMPLATES to help you efficiently sort out, process, and even filter through information you ve either already acquired or will acquire post-Turbo Mnemonics. In their role as functional templates, you ll also be able SIFT THROUGH THE JUNK and reach correct diagnoses much more quickly and with greater ease, particularly when faced with cases on the boards or the wards. As you acquire new info, you ll know EXACTLY WHERE TO HANG IT in on your framework and you ll see exactly how it fits into the bigger picture! That may even be the biggest advantage of all. Most all of us would agree that intelligence & performance don t necessarily jive when it comes to standardized exams. Sure, brains matter. Of course, study time matters. Perhaps the most important element, however, is WHAT you study, that is, what MENTAL TOOLS you take into the exam with you. Review This is one of the worst Medical books I have ever bought. I agree wholly with the L.O.W Yield review. The pneumonics seem forced and not particularly useful. You might have better luck with Internal Medicine Q and A Review which I also purchased and so far pleased with. This book contains a lot of excellent tables, algorithms and summaries that I could not find in any other review book. It seems to be a great companion while doing review questions. I also found this book to be an outstanding source when I prepared for work rounds to teach the interns and students. I can highly recommend this book to all residents. I wish I had it when I started my residency. This is an extraordinary board preparation material as it basically includes the core of the requirements posted by ABIM. It is easy to read; with very affordable tables. I highly recommend it to be read through residency as it highlights important core concepts that you can go and research further for a deeper insight in other kind of textbooks or resources. Is very complementary to frontrunners as it let you round and define the important core material. This book provides a nice balance in terms of thoroughness, readability and ability to pinpoint to the high yield material. Best book review! I really loved this book because it took risks that paid off nicely when it came to remembering all my medicine for my Step 3 & ABIM exams. It basically takes all of Internal Medicine and presents it as memory aids; very cool. The best part is I didn't need "mnemonics to help me remember the mnemonics". This was due in large part to very thoughtful design, where the anagrams themselves generally are related to the disorder/differential/findings/etc being summarized (eg "P.H.O.T.O." for Amiodarone Toxicities (photosensitivity, photophobia, etc); "P.A.I.N.L.E.S.S." for Ecthyma Gangrenosum; and "Yer Leg B.U.M.P.S. for Erythema Nodosum). There's also a lot of humor to help keep your eyes wide open (eg "B.A.N.A.N.A. P.E.E.L.S." for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy which both helps to remember the vertical gaze palsy; impaired downward gaze; and frequent falls AND, of course, helps you easily recall the mnemonic itself). All these mechanisms really make a huge difference when you've got to quickly recall critical differentials, findings, key labs, etc in an exam situation, where time is of the essence, and there's little room for error. My favourite sections of the book were the "Quick Diffs", the "Dermatology Quick Links", and the Appendix itself. The Appendix is priceless and summarizes all 400 mnemonics in the book, and you can quickly find the best memory aid for any topic you have to know or present on, and also helps big-time on rounds every day. All the clever anagrams, pearls, summaries, algorithms, unique tables, and memory aids in general, really made this book not just a quick read and fun studying, but truly "memorable". Actually, the BEST part of the book for me was that it was free. I used it alongside Frontrunners Syllabus and their Q&A in prepping for my exams, and it came free when I got my package thru their [...] website. My favourite mnemonics are "F.A.T. L.I.P.S." for Hereditary Angioneurotic Edema (HANE); "I H.O.A.R.D. G.A.S." for Celiac Sprue; and "B.E.T. T.H.E. F.A.R.M." for Farmer's Lung. But I'm sure you'll have your own. High yield, one of my favourite books, and a huge advantage on my boards.
	Kaplan Medical USMLE Step 2 Qbook (Kaplan USMLE Qbook) by: Kaplan Medical publisher: Kaplan Publishing, published: 2004-08-31 ISBN: 0743262395 sales rank: 614565 Product Description Are you ready for Step 2 CK of the USMLE?

The questions in this book were helpful and seem to be exactly what will be asked on the exam. In fact, they may even be more difficult than the actual exam, which I feel makes it all the more valuable to those preparing for step 2. Another aspect of this book I really enjoyed was that the question blocks were broken up by subject (i.e. peds, surgery, internal medicine, etc.). This helped me realize which subjects I'm good at and which ones I need to work on more. Hopefully this book will help me get a competitive score on the exam.

	Obstetrics and Gynecology (Platinum Vignettes Series: Ultra High Yield Clinical Case Scenarios for USMLE Step 2) by: Adam Brochert, A Hanley & Belfus Publication publisher: Hanley & Belfus, published: 2002-04-15 ISBN: 1560535326 sales rank: 499357 Product Description (Hanley & Belfus) Medical College of Georgia, Savannah. Presents 50 case scenarios to give the reader clear advantage on the vignette-based Step 2 exam. Buzzwords are highlighted, and 'More High-Yield Facts' are included. Softcover. Review Not a stand-alone review, but a great review of high-yield OB/GYN. Good figures and photos. Helped me get the classic presentations down pat before my exam. Definitely did better on my exam because of it. I loved using cases to review for my step 2 exam because I was burnt out on reading straight text and tired of doing multiple choice questions. The format is simple - read through a case presentation (CC, HPI, PMH, PE, Labs) and guess the condition and how to treat it. The back of the page gives you the answer, which I liked better than the "Underground Vignettes" series, because you can't see the answer until you turn the page. The explanations are easy to understand, thorough and high-yield. A great tool for step 2 review.
	Appleton & Lange Outline Review for the USMLE Step 2 by: Joel S. Goldberg publisher: McGraw-Hill/Appleton & Lange, published: 2003-07-29 ISBN: 0071390189 sales rank: 762686 Product Description Drexel Univ. College of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA. Exam review provides coverage of all clinical science topics tested in the USMLE Step 2 Exam. Comprised of only the essential core exam facts necessary for exam success. High-yield, outline format. Softcover. Previous edition: c1999. DNLM: Medicine--Examination Questions. Review I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I FIRST READ THE BOOK,IT WAS WASTAGE OF TIME&MONEY, EVEN NOT GOOD FOR PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT OR NURSE PRACTITIONER. I found this book awesome for quick review. If you want detailed explanations, use Harrison's! I would recommend this book highly, especially to those who paid attention in class and only need a quick review. This book gives you what you need to know for USMLE step 2. A person can;t pass with the amount of sparse info in this book. MI summarised in half a page,! .How nice.All imp topics contain not more than a few lines.Good if you want to fail
	NMS Review for USMLE Step 1 CD-ROM, Version 2.0 (National Medical Series for Independent Study) by: John S Lazo, Bruce R Pitt, Joseph C Glorioso publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, published: 1998-08-01 ISBN: 0683300954 sales rank: 1270731 Product Description This interactive CD-ROM is the ideal resource to help students prepare for the USMLE Step 1. Based on the popular NMS review book, the CD-ROM covers all content areas on the exam and features over 1,000 USMLE-style questions and 4 prefigured tests. Students can choose the Tutorial Mode for a thorough, substantive, high-yield review; the Random Question Mode to take 25-, 50-, or 100-question tests; or the Testing Mode for a timed simulation of the actual exam. The program also enables students to instantly identify their weak subjects and create customized quizzes to strengthen these subject areas. Windows Compatible Review This CD may have had a lot of good practice questions, but I'll never know since I couldn't stand the format. Answers to the questions are provided, but they are long-winded and address a whole block of questions (not just the question you are working on). The display is too small to display all the choices, making it difficult to compare answers. If you're looking for a practice CD that simulates Step I conditions, this isn't it. i LOVED STUYING FROM THE PROGRAM BETTER THAN ANY BOOK
