(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best medical education & training books

Sounds like you are doing some interesting stuff.

The above book is aimed at people doing rural health in Africa with little medical training and you might find it useful. You should buy it from TALC UK ( www.talcuk.org ) or there are probably PDF versions on the internet somewhere.

Yoink.

I got it for free at my local library (but then spilled juice all over it and now I need to buy a new one. Oops.). It's a pretty quick read and is just meant to get your mind going in the right direction. Don't get too caught up in every single question it offers to you.

Remember, you're not studying to be a doctor, you're studying to take a test. Good luck!!

Not from tuition. Professors largely get paid by their research and grant money. Doctors largely get paid by their billing from patients. Equipment is usually capital budget items from the hospital, grants, and alumni donations. New facilities is also largely alumni driven with som grant money and governmental subsidy (pending on location).
Consider this as book as a more broad perspective on the state of medical education and a little in how it is funded: http://www.amazon.com/Time-Heal-American-Medical-Education/dp/0195181360
It's not perfect, but provides a nice picture.

Assuming by 3rd year, you mean your clerkships, there are actually quite a few resources for the wards, if you know what to look for. First Aid for the Wards, Boards and Wards, and this.

Note: I do not necessarily endorse any of these, except that last one, which is pretty dry but backed by nice bits of evidence. There is nothing, of course, that can substitute for the advice from upperclassmen at your own school.

Rockwood and Green's is the bible IMHO. My first job was in ortho trauma and I slept with these volumes while I was rotating with the practice while still in school.

Wheeless is also a great website but sometimes info is incomplete

Physical Exam is another great resource. Really helped with those shoulder exam techniques, which always confused me for some reason

Then why do you care? Worry about your MCATs and Essays first. And go read this or something like it. Don't borrow tomorrow's problems.

It's worth it!

This is also worth it too

But you only need one.

Is it the old or new workbook? Can you post a pic? I have this one and want to make sure it's not the same. https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Analysis-Reasoning-Skills-Review/dp/0804125031

The book is 400 pages. It's written in a Q&A format. Use Amazon's Look Inside feature to see if you like what you see.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there is a new edition coming out soon. The 4th edition is from 2013.

Brown and Bracken. I've never heard of that other one, which is very sneakily entitled, "Step 1 ^^^^Preparation Secrets."

Basically, it's a high yield review of concepts likely to be tested on CK, and can be read in a few days. I think it's useful in the middle/towards the end of your prep to help tie together concepts and get a baseline refresh of earlier things you reviewed. You have to be somewhat cautious while using it since it was published in 2013 and some of the guidelines (Breast Cancer Screening, Prostate Cancer screening, CHADS2 instead of CHA2DS2 VASc score to name a few) are out of date. I found the best way to use it was to look up the associated Uworld question if I remembered different guidelines/suspected they were different.

I will give you a task. If you read this extremely detailed explanation for how the human brain works and you still have questions about your topic, I will be glad to field them.

I think you don't know enough about neurobiology. It isn't a simple topic, but literature is available to give you a masterful understanding.

I've taken graduate courses in animal behavior and animal neurophysiology. I've also read and attempted to commit to memory all of Citow. If you don't make the same effort, then you are abusing a pulpit.

Bea, go to sleep.

I can never sleep when I have things to worry about haha. It's the worst because you need sleep to be able to concentrate but you can't sleep because you're worried about not sleeping....yeah haha.
