Nms Surgery Casebook

by Bruce E. Jarrell (Editor)

Designed as a companion volume to the popular NMS Surgery , this newly conceptualized casebook presents a series format of surgical cases that begin with a clinical scenario and go through the decision-making process of patient management step-by-step. Chapter contents are parallel to other surgical texts, yet are organized and closely cross-referenced to NMS Surgery . The book visually corresponds to the NMS text, too, and contains 205 line drawings and 115 tables. This new complementary casebook offers medical students a structured subject review, practice questions, and an opportunity to work through clinical cases.

This is the only book you need for the surgery clerkship and shelf exam. The only other thing I would use is the UWorld surgery questions.

A tweaker-esque read for school. Honestly micro-vignettes like this seem to be the key to didactic excellence. Medical education is hardly about finding the answer within yourself, and our training usually falls into banal recognition and passivity, so it's nice to have a book like this here and there to keep yourself honesty.

Very good book for NBME prep. I found the first two chapters on pre- and post-op care especially helpful for the exam. The cases are written in a way that allows the reader to compare and contrast easily between different presentations. Chapters are written clearly and give a nice amount of detail. It also explains specific procedures, which I found interesting but not helpful for the exam itself.
It doesn't provide a question bank, so I used it with Pretest.
