Curious about the varying formats of Book Review used at different programs. Ours is assigned reading from one of 3 rotating texts by year (Bolognia, Andrews, Fitz) with supplement chapters from Rapini. We meet once weekly to go over the reading, with a format which has varied from on-the-spot questions from the 3rd years to a pre-printed list of questions to address.

I'm sure that many follow similar set-ups, though I'm curious to hear if anyone has found a unique or otherwise engaging way to get through the material.

Thanks.
 
At our program, first years go through Andrews, 2nd and 3rd years read Andrews and start reading Bolognia. We use Wheedon, but most of us use Rapini too. Book lectures are given by residents, but an attending is always present. Format is up to whoever presents, can br boring chapter review to fun old jeapardy. We also have assigned peds derm reading from Hurwitz and Spitz genoderm.
