Hi,

Anyone use FA for the wards to review for shelf exams? Ive been reading through case files for my neuro rotation, but Im not sure how much I like it. I kind of need a source that condenses and consolidates information. Anyone use this to help study for the shelf with something like case files as a reference if something in FA is confusing? Thanks...

I didn't use either for shelf exams, but if you really feel like you need such a simplified version to study for the shelf, I think FA for CK is a better source than FA for wards. Really, neither will be adequate and you are probably better off sticking with casefiles or buying the clerkship-specific FA.
