Ambulatory Shelf

[smokn]

Ok, I searched and there’s not much out there other than SUTM. Anybody have a solid recommendation on a study resource?

Does ambulatory = family medicine?

Nope. It’s a whole different 4th year course with a its own NBME shelf.

Took it recently. Found that UW S2CK medicine q's, IM essentials, and Step-up-to-medicine (ambulatory section at least) were helpful. There are no practice tests, but UWorld medicine was my highest yield resource.

Won't hurt to also glance over USPSTF clinical guidelines

Thanks. Unfortunately, UW is expired for me so I probably won't be dropping a couple bills for the 30 day subscription. SUTM is a little more reasonable.

Fair enough. I found most of my answers from UW but SUTM gives a good overview. If you have IM Essentials, those questions aren't horrible, but pretty easy compared to the shelf.

Just an update for posterity’s sake – I got a raw score in the high 80’s which converts to a 100. My study method was read all the way through SUTM as I needed to review medicine stuff I hadn’t seen in 1+ years. The week of the test, I blazed through about 4-5 chapters of the IM Essentials question book, focusing on cards, pulm, GI, renal and endo. NBME’s website gives you a breakdown of what percentage of questions come from each organ system.
