Real-Life Cases for the Family Medicine Clerkship and the Shelf-Exam

"The 55 simulated clinical cases in this book illustrate the more common presentations encountered in family medicine in an easy to understand format that serves well as an introduction to clinical medicine....This book is widely used by medical students in our facility, who view it as easy to understand and inclusive of most of the clinical material that they encounter daily in their rotation....this is an easy to use casebook that students can actually carry to the clinic and use directly. The second edition incorporates more relevant clinical material and questions that prepare the students better for their national boards. 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2013

I love this entire series. I've used it for all my shelf exams, and while I also use other resources before the test, I think this is the single most useful book that I study. Family Medicine is simply too broad though to use just one book, so definitely also use some other resources. The case vignettes in this book are short and easy to remember, and it gives you the key differentials to help you prepare for the test.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't make it your only review source
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2010

Because Family Medicine is so broad (medicine + peds + obgyn), these cases can only scratch the surface of what you need to know. When I started doing questions in Pretest, which turned about to be fairly representative of the shelf. I felt that this book did not prepare me well. I agree with another review that this makes a good introduction to the clerkship, but will leave major gaps in your knowledge base if you don't use anything else. Try to schedule your FM rotation toward the end if you can.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dishonest seller description
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2011
Verified Purchase
The product, Family Medicine Case Files, was described as "good - with some bending of the cover pages". However, the seller failed to mention that there were several pages with highlighting, pen marks everywhere, and questions already answered (the product was a prep book for Family Medicine national exam, so clearly the purpose of having the book is to learn from doing the questions, which I can no longer do). I now do not have enough time to return the book and buy another one, as my exam is too soon. I feel that the seller was dishonest, which is a mark of a bad seller.

If you are medical student or intern going through family medicine rotations this book should be required reading. It presents cases in a very straightforward manner. As well as being straightforward, the book provides many differential diagnoses on the vignette as well as follow up, studies, and treatment regimens. This is an excellent book to familiarize yourself with common presentations in Family medicine.

I used this to study for the Family Med shelf. The book itself is well written, and I got through it in a few weeks. But, it didn't help at all for the exam. I think the MKSAP4 Ambulatory Questions, and maybe those FP online questions are better. I guess that made it a HUGE waste of time to read, but if you're going to be a FP Dr., maybe this is a book you'd enjoy?

Compared to other Case Files, I thought this book was dumbed down. They really don't go into much detail, and I nearly stopped halfway..... But I kept using it as my main resource for my FM month and I killed that shelf exam. It was also my last rotation, so I had lots of background knowledge already, but this is a decent overview.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some cases are a little basic, but it was useful for my third year
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2013

Cases range in difficulty but 80% are easy and common, if you have a family med rotation you'll cover almost everything here. It helped me to prepare for a few harder visits I had such as health related behaviors (alcoholism). I think by now the latest AT3 guidelines for hyperlipidemia aren't reflected in it, though, so that limits its usefulness (however, you should just use the USPSTF and other online resources for those kinds of things anyway).

5.0 out of 5 stars Good review for the beginning of clinical rotation
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2009
I purchased this book because one of the authors is the director of the family medicine clerkship at my medical school. The book is a great introduction to family medicine and the most common patient cases you will see in the clinic. The book focuses more on clinical diagnosis and disease management than it does on pathophysiology, so if you want disease process details, you will need to supplement your learning with another source. Overall, I give this book 5* because of its comprehensive coverage of bread and butter family medicine diagnosis and treatment. As an aside, at least 3-4 of my NBME family medicine shelf questions were identical to cases illustrated in this book. The NBME family medicine shelf is difficult, and I don't yet know how I did, but I felt prepared, due in part because of this book.
