First Emerg rotation, any books that you reccomend are essential??

i found reading about your patients the most useful. Uptodate and emedicine are good sources

I bought NMS for my upcoming rotations, but I will tell you that it is an exhaustive text. Perhaps a little too much detail to be considered a true 4 wk rotation review text. However, I think it probably will be great for looking stuff up to read about it quickly, and if you have the motivation to get all the way through it (I think you would probably need to start before your rotation begins) you would be in good shape. FA is my old stand by in every rotation, and I have heard it was very good.

First Aid for the Emergency Medicine Clerkship, and Case Files : Emergency Medicine are both good, easy reads...

emergency medicine secrets is dope. drop it like it's hot!

I'll second EM Secrets - hi-yield info, easy & quick read. I'd start with bread & butter topics (CP, Abd pain, etc.) and use other sources for pts you see. You may want to see what the didactic curriculum will cover and read up on those topics for your lectures/conferences and for any exam you may have.

Have fun.

What about Blueprints for Emergency Medicine?

 

[12R34Y]

EMRA's top clinical problems guide.

Just the Facts for EM, Ma

Secrets for EM.

Reading on your patients out of rosen's or tininalli's as well.

Just an FYI to the OP...
I was looking to buy the first aid EM and found that there is a new edition due out in April (soon, i guess). Didn't find it available anywhere in the internet yet. The first edition was put out in 2001...i don't think it matters, but just an FYI if you can hold out for another few weeks like i'm going to try and do.
good luck!

FYI-
the new first aid (2nd edition) is available now. Or at least according to the B and N website.
