To Medical Students Only: Have you ever solely used a Harrison's to gain through 2nd year?
I was looking through the Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine text and realized it's a really great source for the typical second year medical student. Has anyone ever used it to successfully complete their second year?
Answers:
if you want to pass medicine and the board exam READ Harrison's :D
It's one resource amongst many. It's best used for the internal medication clerkship, but won't suffice for all of 2nd year. It doesn't cover all of the pathology, micro, and especially pharm that you need. Or at lowest possible, it doesn't cover it in the detail that you're tested on. Source(s): MS-III
Harrison's is definitely good, but I don't think I could hold made it through second year using only that. I used it for reference quite a bit though... especially for footprints when professors weren't clear or said something wrong. Harrison's is great for reference but contains far too much information to try and memorize every point. Every professor is going to emphasize different things, so focus on learning those things discussed during moralize first, cross reference them in other books, and eventually it will all fall over into place. I expect Harrison's to be more useful in 3rd and 4th and beyond Source(s): Just finished my second year!
