Most Helpful Customer Reviews
1. The best thing i liked about this book is its clear, concise
presentation of a complex subject. It is an excellent review book with
outstanding presentation.what it is not is – it is’nt a comprehensive
book for medicine but it covers all the common and high yield topics in
internal medicine.Deals on the basis of symptomatology and diseases, a
problem oriented approach which is very useful for usmle step2 and 3.
The discussions deal with the disease, the clinical presentation,
differential diagnosis and the diagnostic evaluation and treatment, all
this in a very readable 3-4 pages with a summary of the keypoints at the
end.The diagnostic evaluation and treatment part is very thorough.A
must for anyone preparing for usmle step2 and 3. I highly recommend this
book.
2. A good ,comprehensive book for step-2 preparation may not cover
all the topics but since Internal Medicine is so vast a topic only a
book like Harrison can do justice.But then who has time to read
Harrison? This is the next best alternative

This book is one of five in the Blueprints Series. This title
presents the principles of Internal Medicine in a succinct format that
complements the structure of the USMLE Step 2 exam. It can be used as a
stand-alone text for the Internal Medicine clinical rotation, or in
conjunction with other titles in the series for a comprehensive review
for the USMLE Step 2 & 3 exams. The second edition of this book will
include 125 clinical vignette style questions at the end of the book.
The series format is consistent for all five titles; each title
