Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good review book before starting an IM or FP residency? Thanks!

Step up to medicine

Step up to medicine

Is this the best one? Even more than say, Pocket Medicine, Washington Manual, MKSAP review or Medstudy? (though I wonder if it would take too much time to go through the latter 2)

You think it would not take a long time to go through Washington Manual? That thing is longer than a lot of textbooks. Pocket medicine is only 200 pages, but at size 3 font and packed with information, abbreviations used to save space. Step up is the only reasonable source to be able to get through. PM and WM are more for reference. MKSAP and medstudy=board review.
