Book Description

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

This review is ideal for medical students & residents who are looking for the ultimate board review book for the internal medicine components of the USMLE STEPS 2 & 3. Students who are preparing for these exams and are thinking about a residency in medicine, as well as current internal medicine residents will also be way ahead of the game when it comes time to sit for the medicine boards, that one last boards we take in your third year of medicine residency. This book is concise, thorough, and fully-outlined, so you will clearly see the relationship between all the key concepts you'll have to know and what you'll need to know. It also features tons of great mnemonics you'll thank your lucky stars for. Speaking of stars, we know you'll appreciate our ample use of formatting, especially the use of ***starred items *** to help direct your attention to particularly important material and/or common or recurring themes on the exams.

You should know that this book is an excellent companion to the FRONTRUNNERS 2007-2008 INTERNAL MEDICINE Q&A REVIEW, which features over 1300 Q&A with explanations to prepare you for battle. If you're a mnemonics fan (and who isn't?), and you like the ones here, then you'll definitely want to check out TURBO MNEMONICS FOR THE BOARDS 2007-2008, featuring over 400 MEMORY AIDS to the Most Commonly Asked Material on the USMLE Clinical Steps & Medicine Boards. You'll find these and other invaluable resources on the very last page of this book, the "Quick Order Form". Even if you're not prepping for the boards, these resources comprise the best no-nonsense review of internal medicine you'll find anywhere. It's our job to ensure nothing comes close.

Over the years, we've been blessed with tons of questions and answers from the boards that have been voluntarily submitted by physicians, who have gone on to pass the boards, in their effort to help those "soldiers left behind". Founded in the same tradition of excellence of our popular Internal Medicine Board Review Course, Nail the Boards remains today much of the same core material for our board review course, which has seen unparalleled pass rates among its students on the boards. The course has been widely and enthusiastically received for its unconventional, no-nonsense approach to the review of internal medicine. Unfortunately, thousands of physicians, wanting to pass their boards, are simply unable to attend a formal board review course due to time or geographic constraints. For those physicians especially, this book will be a welcome review, and is ideal for the internal medicine components of the USMLE Steps 2 & 3.

This book is completely outlined, so that the relationship between concepts is crystal clear--no more guessing! You'll also find tons of key mnemonics you'll definitely be using on your exam, along with contributive formatting through the efficient use of bolds, underlining, italics, boxed-in points, and of course, the *** STARRED ITEMS ***, reflecting commonly asked material on the boards; truly an outstanding way to capitalize on those last few hours before your exam. A thorough and realistically designed Index section, makes those last-minute look-ups a cinch! From the outlined presentation to the contributive formatting, to the starred items to the index to the concept links, every aspect of this book has been designed with quick assimilation and excellence in mind. We want to share that excellence with you, because if you've read this far, your standards are ultra-high like ours.

Frontrunners' motto, "When all you wanna know is what you GOTTA know !" reflects our realistic "this-is-what-you-have-to-know" philosophy toward board review that has consistently churned out top national pass rates among its students from year to year on the clinical board exams. We also passionately hold to the philosophy that, "Hey, if you know an easier way to board review, why not share it with others?" Now in its sixth edition, Nail the Boards has met with tremendous success, but that success has only come about through your successes on the boards.. To our students, collaborators, and colleagues, thank you for all the board review material you've contributed over the years. Your contributions have raised the bar in board review with pass rates on the USMLE Steps 2 & 3 that remain unmatchedWhether it's board review or self-assessment, take these books; learn them; and excel.

With best wishes for you,

5 out of 5 stars Super Choice for Step 3.......2006-07-01

I initially heard of this book from the 2nd & 3rd year residents in our program. A lot of them used it for their Step 3 and were successful and loved it. I was skeptical at first because this exam was important to me for a number of reasons. In any case, my experience was much the same as theirs, and I did extremely well, as with my predecessors, but I wanted to provide greater detail that I know will help you. I was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time totally relieved, when I sat for the exam because everything I'd studied here was right there on the exam. Specifically, I found the book was incredibly helpful in all of the following areas, which are the key areas required on the exam:

** Associating current complaints with presented history and identifying pertinent factors.
** Interpreting elicited history.
** Interpreting mental status & identifying neuro exam findings
** Interpreting specific physical findings as relates to differential diagnosis
** Knowing appropriate directed physical examination & required technique.
** Recognizing commonly associated pertinent history
** Identifiying risk factors--especially oustanding
** Recognizing signs & symptoms and physical findings

I also found the book super useful for all the lab stuff, specifically:

** Knowing when NO diagnostic or lab studies are indicated
** Knowing which studies to select and when
** Interpreting all the key tests
** Basic lab/diagnostic study algorithms
** Identifying which study/procedure will most likely establish the dx or differentiate it from another
** Predicting the most likely lab or diagnostic test result

Bottom line: I passed easily and I'm thankful to those who recommended this gem. But I also wanted to take a few minutes to "pass" this on to others as well. I know there's a lot of other favorable reviews below, but they really didn't go into much detail. I'd also give a top recommend to the Frontrunners Q&A book which was another treasure trove and landed me a lot of extra points on the exam. As far as I'm concerned, it was the perfect combination.

5 out of 5 stars Another Success Story.......2005-04-05

Solid review for Step 3. My friend used it for his Step 2 too and loved it, but my only experience was for 3. I like the way the book's organized by medicine subspecialties (Cards, GI, Renal, Tox, etc) and the outline is a huge time-saver while leaving nothing to the imagination. GREAT book and a zealous recommend.

5 out of 5 stars High Scores for this Ultimate Review!.......2004-11-21

Relatively inexpensive as for as board reviews go, but POWERPACKED with all the key info, concisely presented, and beautifully organized. I passed my USMLE Step 3 with flying colors. Definitely have to recommend this one.

5 out of 5 stars Favorite Book!.......2004-10-27

This was my favorite book both going into and coming out of my step 3. My studying was efficient and I aced all the medicine questions. The starred items are extremely valuable and the book is worth getting just for those alone, if nothing else!

5 out of 5 stars PERFECT COMBINATION! I used this book along with.......2004-09-27

I used Nail the Boards 2004 along with the Q&A 2004 and performed very well on all the internal medicine questions on my USMLE Step 3. I was glad to have had it recommended by the class ahead of me. Excellent review reflecting all the medicine on the exam. I was a little shocked to see HOW close to the exam content it actually was, but hey, who am I to complain? :) Make sure you get thru these two at least once before the exam, especially the starred items.

    Product Description

    This book reproduces the nineteen standards included in Part 9903, Subchapter B of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. These standards apply to negotiated contracts issued by all agencies of the government, but do not apply to small business, sealed bid or commercial item contracts and subcontracts. The rules provide consistency in estimating, accumulating, allocating and reporting costs under negotiated government contracts and subcontracts (both defense and civilian) over $500,000. Compliance or noncompliance has a direct bearing on a contractor's recovery of costs, making the book of great value to any entity involved in government contracts. Universities and colleges will also benefit because this volume includes the standards adopted by the CASB on November 8, 1994, applicable to educational institutions that receive negotiated contracts over $500,000.

    5 out of 5 stars Fun to do.......2006-02-26

    This book is a lot of fun to do. Each puzzle is classified as easy, medium or hard which is great for whatever mood you are in; challenging or fairly simple. I would definately recommend this book and I would buy another one like it.

    5 out of 5 stars Kuddos from a Novice Puzzler.......2005-02-23

    For many years, my mother tried to get me interested in crossword puzzles, but they never caught my fancy. Finally, with this book, I see what all the hubub is about. When I want to relax, I can just pick an easy one. Or I can really challenge myself with the multitudes of harder choices. I think this book would appeal to an expert as well as a beginner.

    I love the ingenuity in the themes and subject matter. What a great learning experience as well as entertainment. These puzzles are clever and interesting enough for hours of fun, and in doing them, I actually feel productive, though I know this is relaxation or down-time. I recommend this book for its variety. It appealed to me though I was not a crossword puzzle enthusiast. I am one now.

    5 out of 5 stars A wonderful book.......2007-01-12

    I will always keep this book even though my son is older now. Would be something to read to my grandchildren.

    5 out of 5 stars Grew with my child.......2003-06-17

    I bought this book when my son was 2 months old, now he's 2 years old and he STILL loves it. I love the illustrations of the baby. This is a time when my son can appreciate what the words mean and not just how well they sound together. I'm going to find other books from this group to add to his collection. I'm looking now to purchase one for a friend who's having her first child.

    5 out of 5 stars Our Newborn - Our Perfect Baby.......2000-09-29

    This little book is our favorite. Our son is 3 months old now and we have been reading this book to him since he was just one week old. He loves to focus on the baby's face and wiggles all over. It's wonderful to have multi-cultural books to offer children. Our baby looks like the baby in the book :) We can't wait to collect the others in this series!

    5 out of 5 stars BABY LOVES TO SEE IT.......2000-05-29

    This book is a delight! My child loves to look at the bright illustrations of other baby faces, and loves it when I get to the part that says "You are my perfect baby!" The message of this books is unconditional, affecionate love. Great text! He quiets down whenever I open the pages!

        This book was created in order to make your study life and your medicine career easier. With over 400 anagrams and other mnemonics, tips, tricks, and shortcuts, this book LITERALLY spells out what you'll have to know for the medicine components of your USMLE steps 2 & 3, and the MEDICINE BOARDS. Indeed, if you're prepping now for the USMLE, you'll be way ahead of the game when it comes time to take your medicine boards.

        As you browse this book, you'll find OVER 400 PRICELESS MEMORY AIDS on all your favorite subjects organized alphabetically by the disease or condition. In addition, you'll definitely want take advantage of the APPENDIX section, which features a SUMMARY of all 400 memory aids found in the book with their page numbers to help you QUICKLY LOCATE your favorite mnemonics or just the information you need!

        Each year FRONTRUNNERS offer it's Saturday & Sunday WEEKEND MARATHON REVIEWS, covering 18 hours of highly intensive Internal Medicine Board Reviews, 9 hours each day, and typically offered the first weekend each August. Ideal for most physicians who can only spare a weekend because of a busy practice or residency schedule,it's "fly in Friday evening; get back Sun evening". For upcoming dates/registration info for any of these weekends, CALL 866-MDBOARDs 8A-8P PST. Borrowing from our experience administering board reviews over the years, FRONTRUNNERS BOARD REVIEW has passionately followed exam content for the medicine boards and the medicine components of the USMLE, as well as current trends in content. We want to be able to share those ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS with you now and do it in a way that is both engaging and, most importantly, memorable!

        All of us remember what a lifesaver mnemonics were during our basic sciences, particularly when it came time for exams and tensions were running high. Memory aids saved us tons of time and always improved performance. But there are astonishingly few such resources available in clinical medicine, particularly when it comes to board preparation, certainly not on this magnitude. Clinical mnemonics aren't only important because they help you remember better and recall quicker! They serve two other very important roles. First, they function as TEMPLATES to help you efficiently sort out, process, and even filter through information you've either already acquired or will acquire post-Turbo Mnemonics. In their role as functional templates, you'll also be able SIFT THROUGH THE JUNK and reach correct diagnoses much more quickly and with greater ease, particularly when faced with cases on the boards or the wards. Secondly, clinical mnemonics also provide a sound FRAMEWORK on which to build your ever-growing medical database. As you acquire new info, you'll know EXACTLY WHERE TO HANG IT in on your framework and you'll see exactly how it fits into the bigger picture! That may even be the biggest advantage of all.

        Most all of us would agree that intelligence & performance don't necessarily jive when it comes to standardized exams. Sure, brains matter. Of course, study time matters. Perhaps the most important element, however, is WHAT you study, that is, what MENTAL TOOLS you take into the exam with you.

        Speaking of having the right tools for the job, we highly recommend using Turbo Mnemonics in conjunction with SYLLABUS (Internal Medicine Board Review: Core Review: 2007, an equally awesome and fully-outlined review of internal medicine for the Internal Medicine Boards. FRONTRUNNERS' INTERNAL MEDICINE Q&A REVIEW 2007-2008 (the Q&A COMPANION to the SYLLABUS) features over 1300 quick, content-driven Q&A to supplement your own board review. See the last page of this book for more information on these excellent resources.

        5 out of 5 stars A truly memorable experience.......2007-08-30

        I really loved this book because it took risks that paid off nicely when it came to remembering all my medicine for my Step 3 & ABIM exams. It basically takes all of Internal Medicine and presents it as memory aids; very cool. The best part is I didn't need "mnemonics to help me remember the mnemonics". This was due in large part to very thoughtful design, where the anagrams themselves generally are related to the disorder/differential/findings/etc being summarized (eg "P.H.O.T.O." for Amiodarone Toxicities (photosensitivity, photophobia, etc); "P.A.I.N.L.E.S.S." for Ecthyma Gangrenosum; and "Yer Leg B.U.M.P.S. for Erythema Nodosum).

        There's also a lot of humor to help keep your eyes wide open (eg "B.A.N.A.N.A. P.E.E.L.S." for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy which both helps to remember the vertical gaze palsy; impaired downward gaze; and frequent falls AND, of course, helps you easily recall the mnemonic itself). All these mechanisms really make a huge difference when you've got to quickly recall critical differentials, findings, key labs, etc in an exam situation, where time is of the essence, and there's little room for error.

        My favourite sections of the book were the "Quick Diffs", the "Dermatology Quick Links", and the Appendix itself. The Appendix is priceless and summarizes all 400 mnemonics in the book, and you can quickly find the best memory aid for any topic you have to know or present on, and also helps big-time on rounds every day.

        All the clever anagrams, pearls, summaries, algorithms, unique tables, and memory aids in general, really made this book not just a quick read and fun studying, but truly "memorable".

        Actually, the BEST part of the book for me was that it was free. I used it alongside Frontrunners Syllabus and their Q&A in prepping for my exams, and it came free when I got my package thru their [...] website.

        My favourite mnemonics are "F.A.T. L.I.P.S." for Hereditary Angioneurotic Edema (HANE); "I H.O.A.R.D. G.A.S." for Celiac Sprue; and "B.E.T. T.H.E. F.A.R.M." for Farmer's Lung. But I'm sure you'll have your own. High yield, one of my favourite books, and a huge advantage on my boards.

        5 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT RESOURCE! OUR PASS RATES SHOT UP........2005-11-16

        As Residency Director, I invested in Turbo Mnemonics for the Boards and some of Frontrunners other Internal Medicine Board Review resources for our own internal medicine board review prep course in an effort to boost seriously lagging results. All the residents who used the book, which we had to keep on a tight leash, found Turbo Mnemonics to be a truly brilliant review of internal medicine through mnemonics. Retention rates were extremely high with this book when we did our own weekly quizzes. The book is extremely well organized, and the mnemonics are simply genius. All of the mnemonics are either named with a term related to the disease itself that's being summarized, OR are simply so clever, that you can't possibly forget them! In the end, using Turbo Mnemonics, Frontrunners Internal Medicine Board Review Syllabus along with the companion 1300 practice Q&A was the PERFECT recipe for success! For the first time ever in our institution, pass rates shot to 100%, making this Residency Director one happy guy. And residents came back after their exam saying the material in these 3 books was all over their internal medicine boards. Turbo Mnemonics is a brilliant board prep resource and nothing else even comes close when it comes to its 400 extremely clever clinical medical mnemonics. Naysayers (those shamelessly pitch their own products while pretending to be reviewing this book--see below-- only call attention to their desperation and L.O.W. I.Q., a mnemonic which stands for "Low on Wisdom. Insincere Qualms." Because of it's popularity among our own residency program, we ended up having to purchase individual copies for each resident, including our second years, who will be entering the ABIM zone soon. I keep mine next to my Harrison's. Frontrunners has samples of all 3 books on its website www.frontrunners.info. Outstanding internal medicine board review curriculum. Frontrunners, thanks for the pass rates. You make us all look good!

        1 out of 5 stars L.O.W. Yield.......2005-08-25

        This is a great idea for a book. Unfortunately, most of the mnemonics suffer from being not terribly useful. Many of them are based on acronyms that have no relevance to the actual topics. Even worse, any given letter -- e.g. "O" in L.O.W. -- might be explained to be a way to remember "Overall, you need to remember that the anion gap is Na - (Cl + HCO3)." In other words, pretty difficult to remember.

        The book reads as if a bunch of people just contributed their own mnemonics, and they were all added in random (alphabetical) order without attention to whether or not they were good or useful at all. Nor are there any graphical/visual mnemonics, except for one nice diagram on tick-borne illness.

        There are other books that excel at mnemonic aids (such as the "Made Ridiculously Simple" series from publisher Medmaster -- though those books are not geared specifically for the Boards.

        Given the free resources online at MedicalMnemonics.com, you might want to check that out first, or even instead.

        5 out of 5 stars Clever and Extremely Helpful!.......2004-11-24

        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.

        5 out of 5 stars Nothing like it. Super review.......2004-11-20

        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.

            I think you'll like the clear true color pictures for your little ones. Some sellers don't tell you which book they are selling (maybe they plan to just send which ever they have on hand) so you may want to send a `buyers question' to them an find out which they have. These 3 books are each sold separately.
