Pocket Reference Books

[footanklesurg]

I was just wondering if any students rotating on clerkships or attendings can recommend a good pocket reference guide? I saw "pocket podiatrics" by dr. leon watkins being used in clinic today and it looked super helpful for quick reference--unfortunately, it looks like it's out of print and i can't find it anywhere! Any suggestions would be great!

You can search Leon Watkins and find his website and order directly from there. The PI manual is a good book to have on you as well. When you have down time during clerkship days it's always good to break out these review manuals and read. They are also helpful in preparing for boards part 2.

Both of these are good to have. If you were to only keep one on your person if have the PI manual in the lab coat. But yes, both are good for boards.

It is also good to have an article or two on you to read over in down time.

Down time? What is down time?

Down time? What is down time?

We have a couple private practice weeks with our 3 month rotation and there is the occasional pause between patients.
