Hi guys, I'm looking to get pocket guides/books for 3rd year rotation and wondering which pocket book you recomend-- that can work for all rotation or any other you recomend for each rotation.

Thanks

Pocket Medicine
Sanford ABX guide if you don't use a PDA.
Tarascon's Pharmacopedia if you don't use a PDA.

Tarascon's Internal Medicine and Critical Care Pocket Book is EXCELLENT, as well.

The only thing I've used on every rotation has been Epocrates on my Palm.

Any type of pharmacopoeia is essential because most of the drugs are referred to by trade names on the wards (and patients know them by trade name, too). Most students in my class use Tarascon's.

I'd recommend Pocket Medicine, too.
