A continuation of Sam's STEP1 prep / end of preclinical school reading log (because for all the hours I clocked in, you best believe it counts towards the Goodreads reading goal).

I didn't read this one straight through, but read sporadic chapters to supplement my clinical skills class over the last two years to help with H+P and note writing practice. A good resource to refer to as needed. Will continue to use as needed.
