What about Uworld? More HY.
Uworld is a must have. I just want an idea of which book I should consider in addition to uworld.

Step up is my Bible. Only because it also has all the corrections and additional info I wrote in it. The day I lose that book... Massive ptsd.
I liked how our orientation for medicine Sub-I, the guy is like "Don't use step up. It's ****. Use Cecil or anything else."
Used step up with uworld and I had no complaints. Considering Ive had this book since second year, I can't say it's steered me wrong.

It's honestly dependent on what helped you through second year clinical medicine. If you already have Step Up, use that and annotate what you find.
Yeah. Sure, there are some mistakes/omissions on certain sections. But they leave ample room to make these notations. I think the weakest thing in that book would be medications... but that's only for treating infections.well,Considering Ive had this book since second year, I can't say it's steered me wrong.
