Download or read book Core Concepts for USMLE Step 2 Cs written by Umesh Sharma and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2010-08-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this book, because I could not find a book that carefully integrates core clinical concepts with the content of CS Exam. Sure, there are many books on the market, but these books are crammed with every possible detail and present a strategically unbalanced approach of preparing for the USMLE Step 2 CS. If you ask me what kind of book I personally like, my favorite book is simplified, concept-oriented, and focused on passing the exam.I cannot emphasize enough that CS exam has three components that you need to pass separately. Try to balance your preparation so that you are not tipped over to one aspect while leaving loopholes on others. You are welcome to use the mnemonics if you are comfortable with, but exam circumstances can subtly change making your mnemonics planned time wastage. You should empower yourself with a wealth of knowledge and skills in such a way that you do not flap over with common clinical encounters tested in CS Exam. This book is written in the form of lectures and practice sessions. The intent of the lecture format is to speak to you directly, as if we were in the classroom together. What I have written in this book is a reflection of what I heard from you during the exam preparation and after the actual exam. I have spoken to quite a few candidates who have failed the exam, even though they believed everything went smoothly.Finally, what you do as a medical student transitioning to become a physician makes me proud. I have spoken to several of you in the classroom, wards, cafeteria, and pubs. The journey you have ventured earns great respect and does not deserve a tearful approach to prepare for any exam. Do not read this book-just enjoy it! Remember to keep the big picture alive while details get filled in. Go to your favorite park or a caf� and start reading this book. Have a pencil handy, as I will make you write some patient notes. Again, I wish you the very best and look forward to working with you.
