Study materials for clinicals

[Kboy2]

Hello guys

Im about to start my clinical rotations. Are there any textbooks/resources that are highly recommended? I will be getting a Kaplan set right off the bat for Step 2, but I am wondering if there are any essential texts I dont want to go without looking at (Ie, some incredibly great book for internal medicine, or another for OB...etc)

Thanks!

I used the U World Step 2 Q-bank throughout M3.

Yes, the best resource you can use is SDN. Try the search and scroll functions. You will find that there are at least 2 threads that cover this very specific and related topics.

Okay - sorry to be a jacka$$ but there are seriously hundreds of threads covering this topic. Also Google

Psych: First aid for psych + Uworld + NBME practice exams
Ob/gyn: Casefiles and/or blue prints + Uworld questions + NBME practice exams

That's as far as shelfs go. There's other resources for things for pocket books and what not for wards.
