Hello all, I hope you're doing well. I’m a PGY-1 resident in Internal Medicine and have recently come across Andre Mansoor’s engaging podcasts and live sessions, which present the field as a true art form. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the book 'Frameworks of Internal Medicine'—is it a worthwhile buy given my restricted budget? Also, could you recommend any other insightful podcasts or YouTube channels (besides Curbsiders) worth checking out?
The book Frameworks of Internal Medicine has been a practical guide in my early years of residency. It offers structured clinical reasoning and integrates pathophysiological concepts with management strategies that have been directly applicable to patient care. Its focused approach serves as a useful review and a roadmap during quick decision-making scenarios. Although its content does not replace comprehensive textbooks, its formatting aids in reviewing your daily cases. In my experience, coupling this resource with various online materials has provided a well-rounded learning experience.
i think the book does a quick, handy review of cases. not exhaustive but useful in a pinch. also, try checking out the ‘medcram’ youtube channel for clear explanations. it works fine when you’re short on time and money.
hey all, ive found frameworks offer neat roadmaps but its sometimes a bit too concise. has anyone paired it with extra online audio or vid resources? i fnd podcasts mix in well. what channels or podcasts have yall enjoyed?
While I appreciate the concise review that Frameworks of Internal Medicine offers, I have found that its true value lies in supplementing a deeper study of core materials. My experience has shown that the book is most effective when used alongside interactive case discussions and faculty reviews, especially during busy clinical rotations. Seeking out online lectures and other digital formats that offer detailed case analyses can further enhance understanding. This approach has helped reinforce my clinical reasoning and decision-making skills during my internal medicine residency.
i found frameworks a handy refresher but not in-depth enough. its useful as a quick guide in busy shifts. for podcasts, ive bumped into podscasts like ‘ebm vibe’ which offer solid insights. may not be as polished, but they compliment your study pretty well.
