Product Description
MKSAP for Students 3 includes over 400 patient-centered self-assessment questions and their answers in print and on CD-ROM. Designed for medical students participating in their clerkship rotation, the questions help define and assess mastery of the core knowledge base requisite to internal medicine education in medical school. The questions reflect the many management dilemmas faced daily by internal medicine physicians and when coupled with the answer critiques, provide a focused, concise review of important content. Questions are carefully chosen to cover the content described by the 33 categories that correspond to the Core Medicine Clerkship Curriculum Guide's "Training Problems." The Clerkship Curriculum Guide is a nationally recognized curriculum created and published by the Clerkship Directors in Internal Medicine (CDIM) and the Society for General Internal Medicine (SGIM). It defines competencies, knowledge, attitudes, and skills that medical students are expected to master by the end of the clerkship.

Essential for the Internal Medicine Clerkship May 6, 2008
Most internal medicine clerkships have a shelf exam at the end of the rotation. There is no gold standard textbook for internal medicine that I have encountered due to the fact that there is such a breadth of knowledge found in the discipline. However, for the shelf exam, this book is essential. It has been updated past the 2nd edition to include questions and information about current guidelines for treatment. Also, an additional feature that is great is the cd-rom which contains the entirety of the book in a computer based exam which can be customized.

I highly recommend using this book during your internal medicine rotation. The questions are shorter than those on the actual shelf exam, but they require the same thought process. On the shelf, the questions are less focused on "what disease does this patient have?" and instead involve choosing the appropriate diagnostic test or treatment. The same can be said of the questions in MKSAP 3. Another nice feature is that the book comes with a CD with all of the questions. This allows you to keep better track of your progress and to take the questions in a random mode, rather than just subject-based. Besides doing the questions themselves, it is also important to read through the answer explanations, which are excellent. Overall, a great investment!

This book is a wonderful review! Internal Medicine Essentials is a great companion for this question book. I feel it covers the relevant topics, and points out the main take home message in a clear and concise manner. The Essentials book is sort of like a "Blueprints" except it is written by ACP. I haven't taken the boards yet, so I can't promise this is the best approach...I feel pretty confident however. Hope this helps!

This book is basically MKSAP 2 except with different questions. That's good since MKSAP 2 was well made. There were several things I liked about MKSAP. It covered a variety of illnesses and grouped them by symptom (so if you felt weak in pulmonary you could easily find sections applicable to that field). The American College of Physicians wrote it, which is quite comforting. It references appropriate research articles for every Q&A. Finally, like a shelf, it forced you to make tough decisions. In reality, you order just above every lab and whatever imaging you need to cover yourself. Board questions, though, make you choose the best test from what you would always order.
I preferred using the CD-ROM with the book (well made) as I could do questions much faster rather than flipping through a book.
MKSAP 3 is slightly better than 2 in that it does reference more recent materials and protocols, and it seems to repeat certain concepts less.
