Customer Reviews

excellent book at great price

The transaction was easy and I received the book in a reasonable amount of time. The book was in good shape and came just as described.

Best book I've used in medical school!!!!

I got this book because I needed something to study for my M3 clerkship shelf exam and I was told Blue Prints was not good and there is no First Aid. It took me a long time to go through all of the questions and extensive explanations but it was totally worth it. Some of the questions I had on the shelf were almost identical to those in the book. I have since loaned my copy out to several people with rave reviews. This has been my favorite book in medical school so far!

excellent, best source for family shelf

Just use this and your set. I had a 4 week rotation in fam med & had not yet had, ob/gyn, peds or IM, but I did well using this text. I only got through half of the text, but did that the night before. I only wish I'd got it sooner.

Questions and Answers

Oodles of questions and explained answers, and it comes highly recommended by my fellow classmates who used it to study for the national shelf exams. (I also used Bratton's Family Practice Review and loved it.) The questions in NMS are usually high yield and well explained. One classmate specifically said that this was the only book he used for Family and he aced the exam. I guess that's a pretty good review. I liked this enough to mention it in my review for Bratton's in my listmania list for med school must haves.

best for basic clinical information

a book to increase the convenience of practice by family physician and residents, it cover most topices for family medicine
