Pocket Journal Club: An Internal Medicine Guide to Current Medical Literature

I hope you find this book an ultimate study guide for your medical education. This book is arranged to guide the medical student, medical resident, as well as general practitioner, and teaching faculty towards the current medical literature in topic based fashion. In my opinion, medical education is best learned by a combination of seeing the patient who has that particular disease, and then studying that specific topic intensely at that point in time to maximize clinical understanding and consolidate the learning process. All too often, medical students and residents miss out on the best time to comprehend the pathophysiology and therapeutics by only scratching the surface with a high yield book and incorrectly looking forward by studying for the various shelf exams, step exams, and the multitude of academic distractors that we are constantly faced with in today's academic medicine curriculum. This book provides the reader with the substrate to focus on, and hopefully catalyzes a true understanding of the medical literature, to improve their own understanding and practice of medicine. I hope you find this book a must have during you years in medical school, residency, and continues to be useful in your post-graduate clinical practice.
