Now including Physician Well-Being and Hospital Internal Medicine, over 80 chapters help you confidently sit for the boards. Not preparing to certify or recertify? This all-inclusive reader-friendly volume is the perfect companion for anyone seeking to provide state-of-the-art care to patients, to serve as a core textbook for internal medicine residency training, or for students preparing for USMLE Step 3 examinations.

This outstanding text begins with reasonable, practial study preparation and then goes on to the reasonable, practical study methods [and] the practical management of the wide range of illness that a prudent Board Certified Internist might well be reasonably expected to recognize and then provide reasonable and prudent primary healthcare ... I plan to reasonably recommend this outstanding text to all of my/our student candidates for our our U.S.M.L.E. Step 3 as well as all of my/our resident candidates for Certification/Recertification by our American Board of Internal Medicine {our A.B.I.M.}. With humility and with respect I will further reasonably recommend this outstanding text to our candidates for Certification-Recertification by our American Board of Emergency Medicine, our American Board of Family Medicine, and our American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology., Robert Ficalora has applied his extensive expertise in graduate medical education, board preparation and adult learning with the talent and clinical expertise of many Mayo physicians to produce a focused, organized, well-rounded board preparation book the goals parallel the structure of the ABIM certification exam. The material is presented in a focused manner for the 21st century learner, with key points highlighted and many figures, tables, and diagrams. This is not only a content review for any individual preparing as a first time test taker or an MOC exam taker; it is a true guide for the individual, with great tips and words of wisdom. I encourage my own residents to use it now and will use myself again in 5 more years!
