I am starting my Sub-I at my home institution next week and I would like to be as prepared as possible. Any suggestions on good texts to review or have on hand?
Thanks.
Thanks.
The brain remains the same. I still recommend Patten to everyone who will listen. It is very old school, but focuses on diagnosis through neuroanatomy correlates, and is a great way to learn. The MGH handbook is a great pocket reference but is not good for primary reading. If you're looking for a hardcore text, Bradley and Daroff is still the best, in my opinion. Adams and Victor (Ropper) is also very good, but is quite dogmatic if that bothers you.
If you're just doing a Sub-I now, I would read Patten because it is relatively quick reading, and is not overly in-depth for your level of education (as would be Adams and Victor or Bradley and Daroff). I'm not a huge fan of the Pocket Neurology book, but I also didn't grow up with it as I did the MGH handbook. Take a look at both and pick the one that seems most intuitive.
