About Our Company MD2B provides unique services and products for medical students. We understand the difficulties that students face in their third and fourth years of medical school because these are the same problems we faced when we were medical students. Now as clinicians, educators, researchers, and administrators, we would like to offer students resources that we wish had been available when we were in medical school. Our main goal is to develop and deliver high quality information that enables students to reach their full potential during the clinical years of medical school.
Our principal print publications include:
In the 250 Biggest Mistakes 3rd Year Medical Students Make And How To Avoid Them, MD2B has identified the major mistakes that students make during the third year of medical school. Once students become aware of these mistakes, they can do everything in their power to avoid them, thereby placing themselves in a position to excel in their clinical clerkships. In The Residency Match: 101 Biggest Mistakes And How To Avoid Them, MD2B has described mistakes that occur during the residency application process. Many of these errors are crucial and can prevent students from matching with the residency program of their choice. While these mistakes are well recognized by program directors, most students are not familiar with them. Avoiding these pitfalls is the key to successful residency matching. These six resources empower medical students, helping them make the right educational and career decisions. We invite you to view a sample mistake from these books in the products section of our website. The remaining four titles listed above are part of the Clerkship Mistake Series. In developing these titles, we thought of all of the mistakes that we made on our clerkships and continue to see students make in our current roles as residents and attending physicians. In addition to pointing out these common and major mistakes, we offer advice on how to avoid making them. We hope that you will be able to learn from our missteps and those of your predecessors and not be doomed to repeat them. By avoiding the errors made by most students (and perhaps by your fellow students who haven’t read these books), you are certain to stand out on your rotation.
At our website, we have made available to you a considerable amount of information that we feel can help you reach your goals. Feel free to visit our survival guide for the third year as well as our section on applying for residency. Check back with us as we continue to develop new products and content, both in print and electronic media (online and offline).
The founder of MD2B, Dr. Samir Desai, is also the author of the Clinician's Guide Series (published by Lexi-Comp), which is a series of books dedicated to providing healthcare professionals with practical approaches to commonly encountered problems. These books include the following:
These books, which have been widely used in clinical clerkships, have made a real difference for many students. How are they different from other books? In contrast to traditional texts, much of the information in these innovative books is presented in a step-by-step approach. These approaches have been designed to mimic those used by attending physicians. These approaches have helped students answer the one question that always comes up in the wards and in the clinics - "What do I do next?" No longer do students have to struggle in their efforts to determine what the next step is in the evaluation of the patient's symptom/sign (Clinician's Guide to Diagnosis) or abnormal lab test (Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine). We invite you to sample a chapter from these books and read what other students are saying about these products in the products section of our website. |
