Master the Boards USMLE Step 2 CK Fifth Edition

As a person who didn’t use MTB step2 ever, I can’t say anymore about how precise and direct the infos are. I’ve been a fan of doctor Conrad for many years so the fact that I have his book is awesome. It’s so accurate and updated. One very important fact is you have to remember that this book is a test guide meaning that not all medicine you need for life is here. It’s second to none for the test and memorizing facts with reviewing them, but not all medicine is here. However it makes you the most current and the blazing star in front of your attending.UPDATE (17-2-2019) : I got both Master The Boards Step 2CK and Master The Boards Step 3. Am very honestly saying that Master The Boards Step 3 is absolutely BETTER than the new Master The Boards Step2CK. Many updates are found in MTB3 not even changed in the MTB2. The fact that MTB3 focuses more on diagnosis and management than MTB2. The only downside (with both books) is that you have to have a reference or videos ( the best is the MedQuest videos of STEP 3 !!) that emphasizes on the pathophysiology and associations of some diseases ( I find Kaplan lecture notes Internal medicine THE BEST book of them all in terms of explaining and correlating with the basic science. However some diseases and treatments are mentioned in the MTB book and not in Kaplan’s LN ) and if you are just wondering, doctor Conrad Fischer is one of the WRITERS of the new Kaplan LNs internal medicine and if you know him well you would be able to recognize that while reading. I would really recommend the MedQuest videos because they add up MUCH to what you already know and to what is in the books

Buena calidad

Comprehensive book with very easy to learn bullet points and enjoyable format. For usmle step 2, I recommend you get the step 3 book as well because this won't be enough unless you supplement with u worldFor medical school clerkships, this is a lifesaver, well at least it was for me!

Excellent book that is easy to remember, unlike step up to medicine which is boring & not easily retainable. If you had anything difficult to understand or you think is wrong you can directly contact Dr. Conrad on his email & he really answers fast!

will update this later but it seems to have more of the high yield info in better order than Step 2 CK from first aid. The information flows better and is more logically oriented. will add more later for full review

Good review for major topics. I think you can use this book for a variety of exams besides USMLE. Master the boards + some q-banks is an excellent equation.

This book as some good things going for it. I love the side notes, reasoning, and ways they address the common mistakes that students can make. It is still a good book I think for plowing through multitudes of clinical decision making. I used Amboss to double check flow charts and clarify the text which can sometimes be a little odd in its order of content or doesn't nest topics in a way that make sense to me.TLDR; Ok book, 4th edition may still be betterPro: It's still a solid prep book that can distill topics down to what you need to know.Cons:- More errata than previous version. Print errata sheet and make corrections immediately. Consider using Amboss Learning Cards to clarify decision priorities and order of next steps.- Some subsections in an odd order. Can confuse flow sometimes.
