Our school has oral case-based obstetrics exams.

I've heard about some book called Obs/Gyn on Call.

Anyone know which book I should use to prepare for oral case-based obs gyn exams with follow-up questions?

thanks
 
Case Files: OB/Gyn by Eugene Toy. This is a relatively new series put out by Lange (I think they have Medicine and Surgery too, but I can't comment on them). This book is awesome...i used only it and Blueprints (this is the only Blueprints I would recommend) and destroyed the shelf test.

The format is great....It's got ~40 short case presentations then goes through DDx, Tx options, pathophys, terms/definitions. Also has some quick questions. All in all, a great book to carry around on the wards/on call....anytime you have time to read 4-5 pages.

i took your word and picked up the Eugene Toy book. I agree that it is an excellent supplement to blueprints and is very much in the style of NBME exams. Thanks for the tip.

I have the book Ob/Gyn on call and I think that it is an excellent choice for the wards and any oral exam. It lays out the framework for how a patient presents and subsequently the things you should be thinking about.
