winterallsummer Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Can anyone recommend a good book for IM/hospitalist PAs? Preferably something challenging or maybe with Q&A or case series type format. I have already completed the case series books, most of the "secrets series", the "challenging conundrums" case series and the books that go along with it, as well as the resident readiness series, and the Paul Cutler book. Anyone have some good recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Harrison's or Cecil, lol. You're running out of options. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterallsummer Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yeah Harrison's or Cecil's are both fine but I am hoping for something perhaps a little more clinical / practical and a little less academic, if anyone knows any such books? Here is one good case series book: Clinical Care Conundrums: Challenging Diagnoses in Hospital Medicine. That series also has "cardiology for hospitalist" and "neurology for hospitalist" which are not as good, probably over-priced, but worthwhile if you have extra CME. They also have another case series with images book which is great but way over priced. In case anyone doesn't know the Case Files, they have good series but are more PA-S based. Any other suggestions? Does anyone know any good Journal Club websites? jwatch.org - concise summaries of important studies, but only about 1/5 are free, the others requiring a paid subscription (unsure if perhaps this will be free to view at work?) If you google "NEJM clinical cases" you can view some free cases, also they have links to their articles typically free to view from work Also if you google UNM Hospitalist journal club they have links to good articles and a blog. Also the-hospitalist.org has some good articles but seems to focus mostly on policy Anyone have others to add? Or some good books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulfari Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Has anyone read Case Files: Internal Medicine -- and can comment on the variability of content between editions? The newer edition is about $30 and the older editions are as cheap at <$10. Just wondering if I should splurge or not for this IM Rotation this month. http://www.amazon.com/Files-Internal-Medicine-Fourth-Edition/dp/0071761721 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushball08 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Mksap series??? Questions are very challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DissentingVoice Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm a MKSAP fan, but it's expensive to legally obtain. Case Files are great, but they only teach classic presentations. Still, that'd be my recommendation if you're a student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
