Good question. I dont know what to read exactly but I am going through "Washingtom Manual"..GL

[ArchivalUser]

Wash manual is good, just wondering if there were others.. my credentials, IMG, US citizen, no step 3 yet, mid-upper 80's on Step 1 and 2, 1st attempt, 1 publication, not 1st author, good interviewee Good luck, just make sure you apply to enough programs especially midwest programs. I applied to about 35 IM programs and got interviews at half and went on 10. Just apply smart. Good luck

My program sent out a list of topics to review and told us to read Harrison's or up-to-date or Cecil's. Apparently, we're taking an assessment exam on these topics in the first week of our orientation. I've also been referencing Washington Manual and First Aid for the Medicine clerkship.
