- W1523095925 abstract "Two weeks, four days, 13 hours, and 23 and a half minutes before you have to sit for your internal medicine specialty boards. You want a quick review, without large blocks of text, though you’d rather not wade through complex figures, either. Where do you turn?McGraw-Hill and the authors of Last Minute Internal Medicine: A Concise Review for the Specialty Boards hope they have provided an answer. Their newest addition to the “Last Minute” specialty board review series provides readers with material that is solely in tabular format (with a few flow charts mixed in for sanity’s sake). Last Minute Internal Medicine has made it its mission to stick to core, high-yield material without including any extraneous detail. The book is written for an audience of physicians and residents specializing in internal medicine who will be sitting for their (re)certification specialty board exam within a few weeks of using the text.The book is divided into 23 sections, organized based on organ system. With an average of 22 pages and 18 tables per section, the divisions are as follows: cardiology; pulmonology; critical care; gastroenterology; nephrology; urology; infectious diseases; endocrinology; hematology; oncology; rheumatology; peri-operative care; ophthalmology; dermatology; sports medicine; women’s health; geriatrics; allergy and immunology; neurology; psychiatry; adolescent medicine; nutrition; and basic statistics and epidemiology. Naturally, the book focuses most heavily on cardiology, hematology, gastroenterology, and oncology review as these are not only the topics most often tested, but also the organ systems that give rise to the largest volume of diseases seen by an internist in general practice.With the notable exception of the seemingly text-heavy and out-of-place “Allergy and Immunology” chapter, the book sticks to its promise of including “nothing but tables.” Though the organ system organization of the chapters is easy to navigate, one does leave the book wishing for a more consistent sub-format within each of the chapter’s tables. The tables within separate sections are so remotely incongruous in layout and content that one wonders whether each section was not prepared by a different author, without any common table/heading formatting guidelines.In the end, the book serves its purpose, however. It is not meant to be a stand-alone review text, nor is it best used to re-educate oneself on material long forgotten. The book is a quick tool to evaluate one’s strengths and weaknesses and concomitantly quiz oneself on material that has already been assimilated (yet still might be fuzzily remembered). If I were taking the exam, I might pick up a copy of the book to use as a diagnostic before I began my studying. In the end, however, the book would certainly find its way onto my shelves as a quick reference source with easy to use tables — packed to the gills with high-yield information I would need to know to pass the exam." @default.
