About this book

Written by the top medical student rotators, this book provides medical students with the often elusive information and skills required to ace their clinical rotations

Chapters cover all major medical sub-specialties such as internal medicine, general surgery, cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology. Additionally, the book offers many novel features including a review of core rotation skills for oral presentations and a walk-through of a day in the life of the medical student on a particular rotation. It focuses on the common cases that students actually encounter in the hospital. This format thereby administers a complete, concise overview of what is needed for each rotation


A unique resource, The Ultimate Medical School Rotation Guide is not only instructional and comprehensive, but also assuring and supportive as it encourages students to appreciate this rewarding time in their medical careers
