 Success on the Wards: 250 Rules for Clerkship Success

The Successful Match: 200 Rules to Succeed in the Residency Match

Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine: Pocket



Praise for Success on the Wards


"Success on the Wards is an excellent reference for any 3rd year medical student and some is probably great reading for advanced students and even residents and interns. The book would also be a terrific reference for international students or beginning interns to learn the US clerkship system. The book is well written and an easy read. The numerous literature supported references gives the book some real relevance and makes the evidence believable, instead of being heavily opinionated and only a few of one or two people."

"In this book, the authors do a wonderful job of addressing many myths and rumors that exist out there. They don't merely provide their opinions, but instead provide hard data -- the results of surveys and studies, as well as direct quotes from important decision makers such as residency program directors."

Praise for the Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine


In our Medicine Clerkship, the Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine has quickly become one of the two most popular paperback books that our students purchase for our clerkship. Our students have praised the algorithms, tables, and ease of pursuit of clinical problems through better understanding of the utilization of tests appropriate to the problem at hand."

"As a practicing clinical pathologist for 20 years, I was recently confronted on rounds with a clinical question in an area with which I was not familiar. I quickly pulled the pocket companion out and was able to inform the primary team of the best tests to order to help narrow their differential diagnosis...I think this is an incredibly useful book for anyone in healthcare...I'm keeping my companion pocket guide in my lab coat for daily use."

Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine





Lab test interpretation is a kep competency for medical, physician assistant, and nurse practitioner students but the evidence shows that medical education on lab testing is inadequate. According to the CDC, "despite the integral role of laboratory testing in the practice of medicine, formal teaching of laboratory medicine is a relatively neglected component of the medical school curriculum...Without sufficient knowledge of laboratory tests, health care providers are more prone to inappropriate ordering and mistakes in interpreting test results, which can lead to poor case management, increased costs per patient, and adverse outcomes."

The Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine has helped students efficiently select and rationally interpret lab tests. It has been widely used in courses and clerkships at a variety of medical schools, nurse practitioner programs, and physician assistant programs.
