Case files. Psychiatry


簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble):

You need exposure to high-yield cases to excel on the psychiatry clerkship and the shelf-exam. Case Files: Psychiatrypresents sixty real-life cases that illustrate essential concepts. Each case includes complete discussion, clinical pearls, references, definitions of key terms, and USMLE-style review questions with detailed explanations of the correct answers. With this system, you'll learn in the context of real patients, rather than merely memorize facts.
Customer Reviews from Amazon :
amazing study guide for psych! This was pretty much the only book I used for my rotation and it was definitely more than I needed. the cases are great, the explanations are clear and accurate. good breadth included.

So much like the shelf

I was amazed taking my shelf at how much the questions were like the case files questions. The practice questions really enable you to be able to distinguish between similar diagnoses. This was my main study tool but I also read through Blueprints. I found between the two, there were no real surprises on my exam. I also love the cart that is in the introduction with the drugs, their uses and side effects. I annotated the chart throughout my rotation and by the time I was done I felt that I had the psych drugs (which I hated during my first two years) mastered.

Very helpful

I'm a PMHNP student and these cases are a great way to review foundational knowledge. Theres an ipad app version that looks really neat, too. Next up are Stahl's case studies.
