The most important part of reading is knowing what to read & where to read from.

Some books that we recommend are

"Problem oriented medical diagnosis" ***** Excellent for critical analysis of information.Great place to start and finish diagnosing diseases.

"Oxford handbook of clinical medicine"**** Wonderful book to keep in your pocket on the medical floors (please read up whenever you go to see a patient)

"MKSAP"**** Extremely focussed text but information is so concentrated that you should be familiar with basics before you get on with this.

"Washington manual"*** Excellent source for management - once you have made the diagnosis.
