Hello all, I am just about to start my internship in FM. what study books or materials do residents use during residency to stay up to date and also prepare for the boards?
I'm a book person although I use uptodate as well since it's current. I like pocket medicine since it gives you the workup for specific problems. I like Ferri (author) for a good pocket internal medicine side kick.Does anyone use textbooks anymore?

Thanks! Do ppl use books like Harrison's/Nelson's/Williams for at home studying?
Thank you!Recall that by the time a book is published, the information is 5 years old. Fundamental learning in med school and then in residency --ok; Sometimes, I'll drag out Robbins to recall some basics that I've probably forgotten I'm not investing the money in a book when I've got trade journals and UpToDate -- unless I just can't recall the fundamentals.....you do forget what you don't use....
Doubtful. By the time your day is done you don't study at home. At least I know I didn't with 2 kids and home things to to. I think I have touched a Harrison's once, don't know what the other two are.Thanks! Do ppl use books like Harrison's/Nelson's/Williams for at home studying?
Peds and Ob/Gyn texts --- supposed to read them in medical school/residency -- I never did -- by the time I was at that point in 3rd year, I figured out that everything I needed to know was in Case Files -- everything else, I'd look up on the fly.....and promptly forget after boards....Doubtful.

Thank you. I asked because i have seen so many recommendations as far back as 2007 and wanted to know which one of them to settle for and was the best. Thanks for all your suggestions
