Yeah. I'd start with the last five years of NEJM. Just read them all. You'll get pimped on it. Believe me.
Dude, really?? 4th year med school is the best year of your medical career. Why are you worrying about reading for internship? You should be busting your ass to get a good residency and spend the rest of the time having fun... Seriously, students...

This is a quote from the thread that I was referring to:
"I'm going to start internship in June and currently my plan is to go down the list of top twenty reasons for hospitalizations and read about 2 per week in the New England Journal of Medicine review articles and whatnot until graduation to give me a good base of 80% of what you'll be seeing. NEJM has a great clinical problem solving series (go to the NEJM online website, select Clinical problem solving series and leave the search blank) with about 100 case presentations with a expert workup as commentary to help us refine our approach to handling the workup and DDx of symptoms. I highly recommend it. The one of hematuria is particularly good."
I've been doing research for a year (in b/w MS3 and MS4), and have had little exposure to clinical medicine during that time, so something like this, at the least, may settle the nerves a bit, and at best, give me some confidence on the wards, but is certainly not a waste of time nor will it retract from "having fun".
