DESCRIPTION:
"Iserson's" according to A. Copeland. I bought this book thinking that I needed it to be able to apply for residency programs. I found the book, even the most recent edition, to be very outdated in terms of the matching process and what programs are looking for. I don't think much went into updating the new edition because for a few years now, the Board exams have been computerized and the book still refers to the old 2 day process and it also stated that the osteopathic residency process was not through ERAS,. If you are a Med Student You should own this book DB I am a medical student and I can't believe how little is known among students about the future and obtaining a residency. This is an excellent book as it introduces many different specialties and rates them. This rating shows the # of programs, slot #'s, match #'s, PGY-1 #'s etc. It also contains a description of each specialty with work hours and salary. the majority of the book focuses on how best to increase your chances of getting the residency you want. I am very glad. Must buy Amazon Customer Every medical student should have access to this book. Some of the chapters are vital to your understanding of what Residency directors are looking for. I feel that the early chapters on choosing a specialty are weak but the advice on filling out ERAS, interviewing and making your ranks is the best in any book I've read and help to give you the confidence you need during a time that is almost as confusing as puberty.
the 8th edition was released on April 16, 2013.. There is a newer edition of this book
