This newest edition of the IM Core is the most thoroughly updated Core ever done by MedStudy. It builds upon and strengthens its position as the #1 resource for ABIM certification and recertification exam preparation. The “right” content – that is, Board-relevant facts – is what you need to know for your Board exam, and that is what MedStudy brings you. In addition, this Core Curriculum incorporates a writing style that is lively, easy to follow, and logically organized. It covers topics from different perspectives and sprinkles in commentary, mnemonics, self-quizzes, and even humor to help you better retain what you read. You acquire more knowledge in less time. You recall it more readily with less effort. You master not just the basics of IM but also the topical interrelationships, the difficult concepts, a full understanding of IM. This also makes the Core a valuable reference for physicians seeking to expand and deepen their overall Internal Medicine knowledge.

Content is key to why the Core is such a great learning tool. Beyond this, it also has a built-in study system whose features work together to enhance your learning. These features include:
• Logical organization: Topics are organized under major headings with supporting sub-topics in logical structure that makes it easy to follow and grasp the important topical relationships.
• Yellow highlighting on key text: We have highlighted for you the information that is must-know for your Boards. These are the most fundamental IM facts to know.
• Quick Quizzes: On every two-page spread you’ll find short questions to test yourself on your reading. The answers to these questions will be found in the yellow-highlighted text, tables and other graphics found on the same 2-page spread.
• Burgundy type: The burgundy type used on selected pieces of text gives a lively tonal emphasis to your reading, much the way a teacher would in a great lecture.
• Tables, charts, images, illustrations: Scans, x-rays, scopes and images give visual clarification and emphasis to the text. Tables and charts summarize extensive amounts of information into a concise, easy-to-review form. 
• Brief review questions: At the end of each subspecialty section, find dozens of short review questions to help integrate the material you’ve read. Pop-quiz yourself as you complete each section.

“I think MedStudy is great! The Core is a great study guide to passing the Boards. I'm glad I thoroughly read the books. I recommend it to all MDs who plan on taking the exam.”
Michael Cho, MD, recently Board-Certified in Internal Medicine.
