5.0 out of 5 stars Great but lengthy resource for medicine shelf
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is one of the most complete resources for the medicine shelf exam. If it is going to be tested on the shelf, it will have been in this book. However, this book is a hard read as it is so detailed. If you have a lot of dedicated study time (read as you don't procrastinate) then you'll enjoy this book. If you are going to wait until the last week of your rotation to study, get case files.

Also included is a code for access to the full text and full set of questions on ACP's website. The format is perfect and the questions are essential to your success on the medicine shelf. This included benefit makes this book worth the purchase even if you don't read it entirely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference for Clinical Rotations.
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2016
Verified Purchase
3rd Year medical student here. This has been my favorite reference text for both internal medicine and primary care rotations so far, and I'm sure I will continue to use it as I'm preparing for Step 2 CK. Concise chapters that present information in a clear manner on a wide variety of topics. Much wordier than Step-Up to Medicine, but I actually prefer this text. The online flashcards are a bonus, and online text helps for days when you don't have the textbook on hand. In my opinion, this is one of the most important tools you can use to succeed on your 3rd year rotations.

I bought this book because it came recommended by my school and wow I'm glad I did! Just enough information but not too much. You won't drown in information and the chapters are do-able during a rotation. The questions that come online are also very good and have pretty thorough explanations. I also noticed that this book goes really well with step up to medicine.

Overly wordy. On an IM rotation, being concise is key. My study time is very limited. If you have time to read it, it does give nice summations. Step up to Medicine is my preferred text.

Solid resource for IM shelf (and FM shelf). Full of USPSTF recommendations, guidelines, and treatment/diagnostic algorithms. Color plates in the back. Online access to 500+ questions, these are the same as the IM essentials question book...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite text books
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2015

One of my favorite text books. So thorough and since each chapter is only a couple of pages long it doesn't seem so daunting to read (even though the print is tiny).
