Hi everyone! I was wondering how to do well on the Neurology clerkship-- not just resources for preparing for the shelf. Due to a different curriculum, I haven't done a physical exam in about 3-4 months. Yikes. 1) Do you recommend having a pocket book to refer to? If so, which one (MGH, Rapid...

What shoes do you recommend for female med students on M3 clerkships? Bonus if they have a wide toe box and work with both pants or skirts. Double bonus if you include links. I dug up some older threads (2004, 2010, 2012)--but all the links are out of date. :/ Fashion changes too fast.
