i'm a peds resident who will be switching to family medicine. I've not taken care of adults in 3 years. i will have a year off while I go back through the match...I'm not someone who can sit down and read harrison's from cover to cover...what's a good review book(s) for family medicine I can flip through over the next 12 months to get me ready for FP??

A little off topic, sorry, but why did you switch from peds to fp? Just curious because I am considering both.

Beach reading- "Outpatient Medicine Recall"
More detailed reading- "Essentials of Family Medicine"

Classic- "Swanson's Family Medicine Review"

trust me..do family...you get more variety in procedures...patients..etc..plus...you will see nothing but crazy parents who bring their kids in every single damn day for a virus that you can never treat to their satisfaction...and after seeing 30 of those a day for the next 50 years..you will regret not having the variety...

plus...in family medicine..they treat you like an adult from day one...in peds residency..they treat you like a child...
