Editorial Reviews

Lawrence C. Brotherton
Written by medical students and residents who excelled in the core rotations offered during the junior year, this is a survival guide for students who are entering the clinical phase of their training. The purpose is to concisely offer the practical information necessary to facilitate the transition from the didactic to the clinical years and succeed as a clinical clerk. This text is clearly written for the medical student. Although a student initially entering the wards will benefit the most from the text, it remains a valuable resource for anyone during the junior year. Seven chapters describe the ward experience in general as well as the core rotations, with emphasis on what happens during a "typical" work day, the common pitfalls to avoid, and the various roles of the student. Within each chapter, there are: definitions of jargon; highlighted key points; numerous tables; illustrations; examples of notes, orders, etc.; a section that lists and rates the available review and reference texts relevant for each core rotation, which helps the student select the most appropriate texts and prevents wasting money and time on ineffective texts; and a section of "High Yield Topics" that provides an overview of the most common conditions encountered during a particular rotation. This serves as an excellent tool for focusing on the readings that one must complete. This is a "must have" book for every medical student preparing to enter the junior year. It is easy, rapidly read, and contains many of the "pearls" which become obvious only after learning them "the hard way" in the crucible of the wards. This text should be issued to every medical student entering the clinical years onorientation day.
