Summary: This book is a hidden treasure you should know about.
Review: I got this book as part of a package thru Frontrunners Board Review, so I got mine free. Initially, I went thru it just for "fun" cuz it is a lot of fun and it's got something like 400 memory aids summarizing all of Internal Medicine for the boards. But, as I started going thru it, I realized that this book basically took all the key stuff you've got to know for the boards and summarized it alphabetically by disease, so I ended up using it, along with my Frontrunners Internal Medicine Board Review Syllabus and the Q&A, to help me remember all those facts that keep slipping thru my brain over the years. This book is OUTSTANDING. I got at least 30 points on my boards from this one alone. It's a must-have, and I wouldn't have known about it had it not come free with my other books. Major find!

Summary: Nothing like it. Super review
Review: This is an internal medicine board review that uses ONLY MEMORY AIDS and it's incredibly thorough. I got at least 20 points on IM Boards just from this book. I'd like to recommend it for sure.

Summary: BLEW US AWAY. This was an incredible resource for the boards
Review: This was an incredible review of Internal Medicine for the Boards using just memory aids. My friend used it for his Internal Medicine Boards, but I used it for USMLE Step 3 and both of us loved it. The book essentially takes all of medicine, or the commonly asked items on the boards (esp USMLE Step 3 and the Internal Medicine Boards) and summarizes all the key info you have to know using mnemonics, or memory aids, ALONE. Nicely organized alphabetically by disease. We used the book as a supplement with some of Frontrunners' other board review materials, equally outstanding and which we found at their website www.frontrunners.info/products.htm , esp the Q&A and Syllabus. We give the book and the curriculum 4 thumbs up!!

Summary: Clever and Extremely Helpful!
Review: What an incredible find. This is a book that basically summarizes all of internal medicine for the boards IN super-clever MNEMONICS. I've never seen a book of mnemonics quite this comprehensive. Of the 400 mnemonics, I have my favorite 20. This book really helped me excel on my USMLE Step 2 and USMLE Step 3. My friend used it for his Internal Medicine boards and loved it even more than me. It was part of Frontrunners Internal Medicine Board Review curriculum . Major kudos to Frontrunners, and thanks.
