My school starts rotations much later than most schools, so I'll have all of August to get ready for my 1st one in September.
So with one month to go, what are the best books to read before starting the 3rd year? My goal is to not be too surprised or overwhelmed by anything and also to be knowledgable about the field I'm rotating in. My school teaches in sections focusing on organ systems, and my 2nd year I read the correlating section in First Aid for Step 1 before each section, and it helped me immensely. I'd like to do the same for 3rd year rotations.
Books on what to expect would be great. Books on how to make the most of your rotation, how to make the best impression on your doctors, etc. Anything.
Also, what are the best books to study for shelf exams? Do you need a field specific book for each one, or are general books i.e. First Aid sufficient?
I appreciate anything you can tell me. Thanks.
