What are some of your favorite EM study guides and pocketbooks? I'm getting ready to purchase one of each for my upcoming EM rotation.
Thanks
Thanks
I've been rather partial to this:
It's easy to look through, has a nice flow, gives the standard workup and treatment for stuff, easy to annotate...
This book is awesome.
This book is awesome.
I second this as my favorite book, new too, much more up to date then other pocket books
One that I would NOT recommend is the EMRA "Top Ten Clincial Problems."
Maybe someone will disagree with me on this but I thought it was almost useless.
The Tarascon book is ok. The intended audience is really residents as it definitely assumes a certain level of knowledge (i.e. focuses more on things like sensitivities of certain studies rather than step by step work up).
Honestly as a med student the most important thing (I think) is to have a good grasp on your internal medicine/surgery. Stuff that is pure EM (like first trimester vag bleeding) I really don't think you're expected to know.
