For your internal medicine rotation you should have these Manuals with you:
1. The Merck Manual (2006 edition)
2. The Washington Manual (2010 edition)
3. Harrison's Manual (2009 edition)
These are the best and most used manuals for internal medicine for students, interns, residents, fellows and attendings of podiatric (DPM), allopathic (MD and MBBS), and osteopathic (DO) medicine in the United States.
Btw, 'MBBS' is the original diploma for allopathic medicine for foreign allopathic doctors from Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia. 'MD' is the diploma invented solely in the US. So MBBS is an older allopathic medicine diploma historically than the MD diploma.
So when you see the title 'MBBS' on any long white clinic coat during your rotations, that doctor is an allopath like the MD!
The MD, MBBS, and DO medical doctors love using the Merck Manual, the Washington Manual and Harrison's Manual for pimping on rounds in internal medicine.
