Don’t mind me adding this to my read section on Goodreads … Ive been reading this while studying for boards and it’s taking away from my personal fun reading time. Making it count for my goodreads challenge 🙂

read to prep for boards lol let's hope it helps. parts feel very outdated but also i significantly underestimated how helpful this could have been in my first rotation specifically for case prep, patient letters, writing notes, and even supervisors

I’m going to be sad if this doesn’t help me for boards.
