    5.0 out of 5 stars Good training for finals
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2012

    As I said for the case files - surgery, the same applies to this one. It's a good practice/resuming book, the cases are not difficult (except a couple of them) but the advantage really comes with the "resuming main subjects". I'm repeating myself, I know, but my opinion stands the same - it's not essential but it's a good compendium of the classic/typical stuff that we might find on Int.Med rotation. Which is good. This book don't come up with the really rare stuff that ocasionally may appear and gets you all frustrated because you didn't remember that particular item from that impossible long list of diseases what may cause dyspnea (it's just an example).
    I find it a little more handy and useful than the surgery one because you actually can use it, take it to the hospital, have it in the locker and if something comes up and you have time to research, it's a good starting point.
    I used to to practice as well before my finals and it gave me a good perspective, helped with clearing some doubts and that is why I recommend this book.

    Looking back on my internal medicine rotation (Jan/Feb 2010),I found this book to be the most helpful source of information with respect to the shelf exam.

    I don't believe that it contains all of the information that you need to know, or for that matter, should know for your future. I do believe that it takes the critical concepts of diagnosis and management that you need for the shelf exam, and that you need to build a foundation on in further studies.

    I used this text during the final week of my rotation, as a study guide for the shelf. Previously in the rotation I had read Step-up To Medicine once through. This book, used properly, allows for practice in the type of questions you'll be asked on the shelf. I also found that with 55 cases, every major disease that I was asked about was covered in this text in sufficient detail to answer the questions. Gives you the amount of information you'd need to know in the real world to speak intelligently with someone about a disease and it's treatment.

    Worth every penny and then some as both a study guide and a quick read to refresh your knowledge base at any time.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for internal medicine
    Reviewed in the United States on 15 July 2012

    This book is good to read during your internal medicine rotation, but I would not use it alone to study for the COMAT/shelf exam. I believe allopathic medical students use this book for their USMLE shelf exam, but it is just not helpful for the osteopathic COMAT exam. First of all, the cases are presented randomly and not in any structured order. You never know what you're going to get from case to case. I prefer more of a systems based approach so I can study the cases in groups. It's hard to do that with this book. It just feels like you are jumping all over the place, which makes it difficult to solidify concepts. The explanations of the cases provide helpful information that is important to learn during your rotation, but that information is not really tested directly.

    I did learn little things here and there that I was pimped on during my rotation, but it was extremely lacking in many, many basic concepts that I was expected to know during the rotation. You definitely need additional study materials.

    I used Kaplan's Internal Medicine Question book (also NOT helpful for the IM COMAT) and Step Up To Medicine. I love Step Up to Medicine. It is very thorough of all the body systems and important information you are expected to know about each disease state. It is concise but comprehensive. It is a must have for any medical student! As for the Kaplan Internal Medicine Question book, I would pass and not use this. It was on a much higher level than the COMAT shelf exam or Step 2 boards COMLEX asks.

    I love this entire series. I've used it for all my shelf exams, and while I also use other resources before the test, I think this is the single most useful book that I study. The case vignettes are short and easy to remember, and it gives you the key differentials. In comparison to the other case files books, however, this one was the least useful (I really liked all the others) simply because Internal Medicine has so much more to review. I'd recommend this book in conjunction with a couple other study materials, especially MKSAP and Step Up

    Indispensible book for breaking down the stepping stones & basic concepts of internal medicine, best book for shelf prep. After the shelf exam, I realized that questions I was clueless about were the few chapters I failed to read. Really good at breaking down the beginning level of testable concepts in the vastness of IM.
