Master the Wards

the long version

The three-month Internal Medicine clerkship plunges med students onto the hospital floor, the emergency department, and the clinic. What is expected of you? What should you expect? You need a "how to" book for your first clinical experience. Conrad Fischer combines the advice of med school students on their third-and fourth-year rotations with the expectations of residents and attending teaching physicians. With charts, diagrams, and dozens of full-color diagnostic images, this concise guide will help you survive the daily challenges of clerkship--and thrive!
