During my 3rd year of medical school there were few books designed for medical students on outpatient or family medicine. I used this book in combination with the blueprints books on medicine, peds, and obgyn. I also worked the NMS FP question book. I found this book to be very good, and packed with relevant information. If you like the Recall series format, I highly recommend this book. By now, I am sure there are more choices for family medicine books. But for a easily transportable book with high yield facts in the usual question/answer format of the Recall series (that reads very quickly), this book is for you. Hopefully it will be updated periodically. The NMS family medicine book was only moderately helpful, was slow and tedious to work through, and the questions did not reflect shelf exam style questions.

The book is not only small and easy to carry, but packed with easy-to-find information perfect for any medical student doing their family practice rotation. I would recommend the series for all the other rotations also. The question-answer format helps outline key points for each subject. The only thing I didn't like about the series is that they are not spiral bound.
