Best book for my EM rotation

[The kitchen sink]

Do you guys recommend any of these books for an EM rotation? Looking for a quick read to learn as much as I can regarding EM for this 1 month rotation.

a) USMLE Road Map EM
b) Vandemecum EM
c) Essential EM
d) Oxford Handbook
e) Pre-test EM
f) Deja Review EM
g) Clinical EM Case Book

I hear Pre-test is good, but not sure which one of the others to pick from. Thanks for the advice.

I liked Emergency Medicine Secrets for my rotations -- quick read, accessible. Used more in-depth sources to read about specific topics, though.

Use the search function man...better to bump old threads than starting new ones. I used secrets as well.

Same here. It's my favorite.

When in the ED, I got the most use out of Baby Tintinalli. When prepping for the exam, I used Secrets.
