Esteemed colleagues,

PGY1 Ortho intern checking in.

As my first post I'd like to both offer resources to our fellow MSIII peers as well as wish the best of luck to the current class of MSIVs who are anxiously awaiting match day! The following are inexpensive pocket books and online resources that may be of benefit for the aspiring applicants.

General medicine pocket book for 3rd/4th year clerkship:

Full disclosure: my brother works for amazon.com. None of these links benefit him or me directly (they were found via general search by title).

I found these resources valuable as an MSIII/MSIV and as a PGY1 in Ortho.

I hope these resources are of value to you as well.

Best,
