 Case Files Family Medicine September 1, 2008
The book is good to read if you have 1 day left until a family medicine exam- however the book is too basic and doesn't go indepth as far as pathophysiology is concerned.
 Only book I found helpful June 20, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I took family medicine in the 5th block of third year, having done everything but surgery already and tried to read other books but found them cumbersome and redundant for what I already knew. I picked up this book in the last week before the NBME and loved it, it filled in a lot of the holes in my knowledge that are only taught in FM and not in the other rotations. The family board is not just an IM board, there is a ton of preventative medicine you have to know that is not on the IM board. I scored a 92 on the test. If you take FM early in third year, read a review book first, then this book. If you take it late, read the parts of the review book you haven't taken yet, then this book.
 Not good for the shelf November 3, 2007

I used this book extensively for the Family Medicine Shelf--and that was a bad idea. It's very basic and covers good cases that family medicine people might see on a daily basis, but for the shelf, this book is not even close to being enough. The Family Medicine shelf is an Internal Medicine test, essentially, so using this book did not help for it at all. Use 1st AID for Medicine or 1st Aid for the Step One (yes, that's right) for the Family Shelf and you will be fine (even if Family is your first rotation). This book is not good for the family medicine clerkship shelf!
