I've been using this book for the past few weeks in conjunction with the new MKSAP 14 questions. Thus far just about everything the MKSAP has tested can be found in the book. Its very easy to read, high yield and very well priced. The only complaint is the index. Like all the rest of the First Aid series, its horrible. That aside, this book is a great find.

This is an extraordinary board preparation material as it basically includes the core of the requirements posted by ABIM. It is easy to read; with very affordable tables and images. I highly recommend it to be read through residency as it highlights important core concepts that you can go and research further for a deeper insight in other kind of textbooks or resources. Is very complementary to MKSAP and MedStudy as it let you round and define the important core material. This book provides a nice balance in terms of thoroughness, readability and ability to pinpoint to the high yield material.

This book contains a lot of excellent tables, algorithms and summaries that I could not find in any other review book. It seems to be a great companion while doing review questions. I also found this book to be an outstanding source when I prepared for work rounds to teach the interns and students. I can highly recommend this book to all residents. I wish I had it when I started my residency.

I've been using the First Aid for the Internal Medicine Boards to review IM material during my 3rd year, and I would say that it is very complete. It is more concise than other review books out there coming in over just 600 pages and is very much more affordable. Most review books out there cost hundreds of dollars and are just too long to read more than once. First Aid for IM review is organized by disease system and then is broken down signs/symptoms, differential, diagnosis and treatment. There are many pictures for the diseases it covers with colour glossies in the back of the book. The book is full of easy to review charts and mnemonics. There are notes in the margins to highlight must memorize facts. The key to using this book is to study the charts which have high yield facts useful for answering questions and also memorizing the algorithms which can be applied to many different types of questions. When combined with the question book of your choice, First Aid for IM boards provides effective review. This book is short enough, as opposed to other review books, that it can be reviewed several times before you take the boards. When do we ever really remember anything when only reading it once? I recommend this book to anyone that wants a complete IM review in the shortest time possible with high yield facts that helps you answer more questions correctly.

Good overall general review of internal medicine. A little too basic for serious IM board review, however. Would probably be most appropriate for a busy very first year resident/intern in internal medicine or family practice. Might even be just right for a bright fourth year medical student aspiring to join the ranks of IM.
I would STRONGLY recommend the Internal Medicine Medstudy books as the backbone of your review prior to taking the ABIM certifying or recertifying exam!!! The Medstudy DVDs compliment the books as well. Worked great for me. Mayo Review and MKSAP are decent, also.
