Step-Up to Medicine (Step-Up Series)

A great clinical aid for M3 on internal medicine clerkship. Just wish it had more visual aids like pictures and graphs

Helped a lot for step 2. Important supplement along with uworld.

For any practicing physician interested in internal medicine this is a wonderful textbook. It provides an essential review of the field for the practicing doctor as well as medical student. It is updated in 2024 and is very readable. It is filled with case studies and extra tips to flag your memory of essential points. Congratulations to Drs. Steven Agabegi and Elizabeth Agabegi for a true contribution to the educations of physicians.

I've had the previous two versions of this text and it's a great resource. One of the best. Succinct, but thorough. I'm a nurse and use it just to stay on top of things. I like that it explains the reasons why certain things are prescribed instead of just assuming you know the reason and not explaining it. I always buy the new edition without hesitation because I know it's going to be great. The only negative I would say about this edition is that the paper they used isn't as nice as the previous editions. I'm sure it was a cost-cutting measure, but still disappointing. It's not bad paper, mind you, it's just not as thick and glossy as the previous two versions. Still not a reason to not purchase it, though.

love it! using for STEP 2 studying and really enjoying it

Everything is perfect. The book and delivery

A great review book to use for medical students who are preparing for shelf exams or step two.

I am a Physician Associate student, and this book was recommended to me to supplement my studies during the didactic year. It's not as comprehensive as the PANCE Prep Pearls books (I recommend these for PA students), but it is much smaller and easier to carry around. I also like the layout, the quality of the pages, the colors, images, etc. It covers a lot of high yield stuff in a way that is super easy to follow and understand. It is pleasant to read. I would rate it higher if it covered some basic OBGYN stuff (it doesn't cover pregnancy, birth control, ovarian cysts, PCOS, ectopic pregnancy, etc.) It's wild to me that a book like this would just ignore the conditions that may affect half of our population. I am aware that this book is geared towards medical students, and that these topics may be covered in other books in the series. Just be aware of this.
