In general: Third year can be frustrating because it varies so wildly. Some of you will have cush rotations where you're done at 10:30 am. Some of you will enter the hospital before the sun rises and leave when it is setting. Some of you will feel like you're shadowing again. Some of you will be treated like interns (and abused because you don't have work-hour restrictions). Some will find out the thing they thought they wanted they hate and others will find out the thing they want is beyond their reach (because of family obligations, board scores, or another thing all together). Some of you will deliver 80 babies a month and some of you won't even do a Pap smear. Every hospital has a different culture; just be polite, professional, and let yourself be immersed. You'll pick it up soon enough.
TL; DR: Life is short. Be excellent to each other.
EDIT: Added some stuff, found out there's a size limit on comments, made a second part.
I'm not sure if this will be helpful for you, but I really liked this book when I was completely lost. I have a feeling you may be past this point in trying to pick a specialty, but this may be a good place to get a better understanding of the field. If you don't have access to this book and want it, PM me and I'll send you a copy. Also check out this post with comprehensive spreadsheet that another student put together.. it is pretty amazing
 
One things I often tell underclassmen is that it is better to shoot for the "harder" specialty because you can switch over to the easier one if you change your mind. However, going the other way around is often impossible. So a lot of people start residency in general surgery and change their minds about it and switch to anesthesiology. This is very common and anesthesiology is a very welcoming field to people who've changed their minds after starting residency. I would say if you're really torn and on the fence about general surgery vs anesthesiology know that you could always go for anesthesia later. You probably will not be able to choose where you go location wise, but you won't be locked of out the specialty if you decide to go with gen surg first.
 
I actually matched into anesthesiology (current MS4). Obviously take everything I have to say with a grain of salt... but I think anesthesiology is a great specialty. I'm surprised that you've heard people complaining that their job could be done by midlevels. At my program (and on my interviews) I've honestly never met an anesthesiologist who didn't love their job. Perhaps the rotation site you're at just doesn't have the complexity of cases that are seen at other places. I think the biggest thing about anesthesiology is that you have to be ok with many cases being a standard routine. Everyone agrees that you can teach a monkey to intubate and turn on some gas, but being a physician really matters in those cases where things aren't routine. Being prepared for those critical/scary situations is what the training is really about. Also, the anesthesiologists I work with are always trying to perfect what they are doing in their usual routine. Often they are trying to tweak things so patients are as comfortable as possible when they wake up. Anyways, I will admit that anesthesiology isn't for everyone, but I wouldn't rule out the specialty because a few people you've met are unhappy. Anecdotally, I find that the field has really high job satisfaction compared to other specialties (among residents and attendings).
 
Also not sure if this is going to be a big deciding factor for you, but I know many well regarded MD anesthesiology residency programs are DO friendly. One program I interviewed at that I remember most clearly being very DO friendly is case western. In terms of competitiveness, I would say anesthesiology is relatively easy. You do not need to be top of your class to match into this field. Refer to the spreadsheet above for numbers on competitiveness. My personal experience is that I got interviews from many of the top programs without being very competitive (bottom half of my class for sure and nothing especially impressive on my application to compensate for it).
 
Best of luck to you!
My two cents:
Realistically at the medical student level the most important study to be able to interpret is going to be a chest x-ray. So, if you’re looking for resources to go past the general anatomy and “approach to a chest x-ray” I would recommend Felson’s Principles of Chest Roentgenology.
It’s a ‘programmed text’ like Dubin’s for EKGs, and goes through pathology topic by topic, with lots of opportunity to practice interpretation and to see if you are right or wrong. It’s a relatively quick read and there are lots of practice cases at the end as well.
I stressed interpretation before because, sure you may have a test question about the difference between an epidural vs. subdural bleed, but it’s not like you are going to be interpreting CTs or MRIs.
Knowing the underlying anatomy and the differential for the pathology would probably be a better use of your time than going through any of the introductory texts like Learning Radiology: Recognizing the Basics or Squire’s Fundamentals of Radiology. (My point here being that you need to know what you are looking at if you are actually going to be able to make sense of a study.) If you were considering radiology, one might be nice to have as a reference, but again, I do not think actually trying to read through the whole thing would be a good use of time.
Without cases to practice with, a lot of that knowledge probably will not stick. Whenever you have the chance, trying to look at a film before reading the radiologist’s report to test yourself can be helpful, as is trying to actively correlate what you see on the film compared to the clinical exam.
After having a good knowledge of chest x-rays, your next most common scenarios that require interpretation would probably be emerg related - again chest x-rays will be super common, but others like abdo series, extremity skeletal trauma, cervical spine, etc. will be useful.
Having said that, there are online resources like “Introduction to Radiology” from the University of Virginia or Radiology Masterclass.

TL;DR:
I don't know of any "popular science" books that would actually give you a head start in medical school.
For example, Oliver Sacks' books, especially Musicophilia are broadly neurological in topic and really interesting, but reading them won't actually give you any major advantage when it comes to your studies.
However, if you're determined to get that headstart, I'd recommend reading up on either anatomy or physiology.
For anatomy, I'd recommend the Thieme Atlas of Anatomy books, although I might be biased, since one of my professors co-authored them and therefore used them religiously.
The books aren't text books in the classical sense, so there is little explanation given, but the illustrations are arguably the best I've seen so far.
You might also want to check out the google body project, although I found it severely lacking in terms of features, you can't, for example, look up innervations or muscle insertion points. Or maybe those are available once you shell out for premium content, I haven't tried that.
For physiology, I found Boron/Boulpaep's Medical Physiology to be thorough, detailed and very easy to read and understand. So this might actually be the book you're looking for. Even with limited or no prior knowledge in physiology and minimal experience with science in general, you'll be practically guaranteed to gain a deep working knowledge of physiology, which is arguably the basis for medicine in general and will serve you well throughout your studies at medical school.
If you already feel confident in both anatomy and physiology, maybe because you've done both in your undergraduate studies, I can't recommend Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine enough. Almost everything you'll ever need to know about medicine is contained in this book and it is generally pretty well written. If you'd actually have enough time in medical school to thoroughly read and digest this two-volumed beast of a textbook, med school would be less about cramming than it is today.
So maybe get a headstart on that one.
Edit: On the other hand, you might as well enjoy your time before medical school and keep the fire burning by shadowing a physician from time to time or watching the first couple of seasons of House. That'll be more fun.
Well, it depends on how hard you are willing to work,
Lazy and just want to kinda get used to terminology:
Learning Radiology by Herring
Willing to put in 2-3 hours every day during the rotation which by the way is entirely feasible since med students definitely aren't doing more than 40 hours a week, most do like 30 during a rads rotation. Use Core Radiology
Difficultish: Brant and helms, the harrisons of radiology. But unlike harrisons where legit everything is covered, if you really want to learn radiology you have to get subspecialty specific textbooks like the requisities series. That said, this is what I used back in the day during med school and I definitely don't regret it. I've read through core radiology as well, they are kinda similar in content, but B&H is a bit more formal and teaches radiologist principles better. If you are going into radiology, this is the textbook to buy since you'll probably use it in residency during PGY-2.
And in general, you are never going to read the entire textbooks during med school, but for IM or EM docs, Core could be super useful even though it will be beyond them for certain topics.
For physics, this is my favorite book by far. It can be a bit dense, and some in my opinion more ignorant radiologists who dislike extensive physics don't like it as much, but I learned during training physics makes the radiologist. Even among radiologists, too many doctors make basic physics mistakes that lead to misdiagnosis, especially with things like nuclear imaging. I frequently overread cardiologist and GI nuc imaging and am kind of appaled by the complete lack of basic radiation understanding. That said...
Here are the amazon links, you can probably find pdfs to some of the books and those that aren't you can probably find in your hospital library.

Specifically for MRI:
https://www.amazon.com/Duke-Review-MRI-Principles-Case/dp/1455700843/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1500633869&sr=1-1&keywords=duke+MRI
^Great book for the basics of MRI artifacts and connects visual artifacts to the physics, although learning how to differentiate between artifact and pathology is going to take a residency ;). Also, make sure to get the online version because the paper edition is shit quality.
Yea, so all in all, everyone can find a book that will satisfy their level of interest in radiology, and of course, you get out what you put in. You put in a lot of time in the rotation, that is your decision and I think it was worth it. I learned more of my physics principles during my rotation(although it helped I was an engineer) than residency, so when it came time to take physics CORE, I didn't have to study. Physics CORE is basically the step 1 of radiology, the exam can be hard as shit, and unlike step 1, there is no UFAP or UWORLD lol.
Radiology textbook can be obscure in that they often don't explicitly mention physics principles, so if you don't them, you can't truly appreciate a textbook in my opinion, and how I studied radiology basically was I always had four textbooks open at any given time.
Robbins for pathophysiology, Whatever radiology textbook I was using, a copy of Netters, and maybe an embryology review book if I felt it was necessary. Never steered me wrong, radiology and anatomy textbooks open at all times are especially important, but try to keep the anatomy book and pathophys book closed while "interpreting" the textbook, only to re-correlated after you have thought about it and read a section to get a second more in depth look.
Costantly reminding yourself of principles is important and often missed. I am sure all of you know radiology is one of the most basic science heavy specialties, so reviewing your basic sciences, even well beyond medical school, makes for a fantastic radiologist.
However be careful not to get attached to any given textbook as well, you can't exactly have netters and robbins with you in the reading room.
This book is not too bad. Has a profile for each specialty, as well as specific advice. I picked up the old version cheap a while ago.
The AAMC Careers in Medicine page is actually pretty good too. You have to sign up and log in to see the material, but they go through lots of stats. A new version of Charting Outcomes from the Match will likely be published by the NRMP/AAMC this year or next, and will have valuable data regarding each specialty's competitiveness.
But as far as "playing the game" goes, it's a much simpler game than the med school admissions process was. You don't have to have extensive lists of extracurriculars, and a lot of it boils down to a few big things you need to do.
Those are really the biggest things, and it applies to virtually every specialty. The more competitive a specialty is, the more you will need to excel in each of those areas.
Fantastic score! As far as getting into an elite IM program, I would definitely start by identifying a mentor at your home IM program; they'll be better able to guide you. And with a 260 Step, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help you achieve your career goals.
Also, be on the lookout for research projects that you can help out with, be it case reports or systemic reviews.
Otherwise, the usual advice applies: do well on your rotations, study hard for each shelf, and do well with CK.
Also, buy a copy of The Successful Match. It has useful advice for obtaining letters of rec, what to write in your personal statement, etc.
https://www.amazon.com/Successful-Match-2017-Success-Residency/dp/1937978079
I love to type during lectures, rather than writing with a pen (so slow, and printing, pens and paper are expensive!), so either a tablet with an external keyboard, or a laptop would be important for me, at least. Maybe you find you remember lecture notes more easily if you write them on paper, and some people don't like studying from a computer screen. However, internet access is important anyway, so even if you just have a basic laptop at home it will come in very useful. I use a Lenovo G510, which I really like, but that's more expensive than you need to pay.
A smartphone is also very important for me (calendar, timetable, e-mail, reminders, drug databases, etc. always available). I use a Sony Xperia S (had it for nearly 3 years, no signs of dying yet!)
First Aid for the USMLE (when it comes to it)
These two might be more useful in clinical years, but these are essential for me:
Also,
You don't need to purchase a gym membership, but go for a damn jog!! I find it very easy to be completely sedentary around exams, and it's bad! Yeah. Jogging and regular bedtime (and waking up time) make me wayyy more productive. It makes it easier if you have a great breakfast in mind ;)
You don't need to buy a phenomenal amount, you don't need to buy every book that's recommended or anything, but I think a laptop and a mid-range smartphone (or better) will allow you to study almost everything.
cs1098,
That's really thoughtful of you! I'll try giving you what items I think both gals/girls would appreciate.
All the best,

Okay so I was in the same position you are in right now. I wanted to read as much as I could because I truly found it fascinating. I read these books and I'm glad I did. These books just give you an idea of how hard doctors work and what the life of a doctor is like. Another recommendation is Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential. It has nothing to do with medicine but I read it and I think you should too. He talks about the life of a chef and how perfection and long long hours are demanded of him. I feel like there are some overlaps between the different settings. Chef/doctor and Restaurant/hospital. Anyways, This list should last you a long time. Hope you enjoy.
Edit: Added links.
Pen Light It's probably a little too bright but it's still awesome none-the-less
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00008BFS5 The stylus might be more appropriate
I have also heard great things about the book The House of God even if you are not religious. I have not had a chance to read it yet but it's on my list.
If you are trying to spend a little more money an engraves stethoscope (I recommend the Cardiology III) is always appreciated.
MS1 here:
Is she a coffee or tea drinker? If so, there are companies that do some really cool "coffee or tea" of the month deals. I've gone through quite a bit of coffee since I began...
Here are some really awesome books: House of God, Emperor of All Maladies, and Complications to name a few.
I wouldn't recommend getting her a stethoscope/medical supplies because they can be very personal. Sure, they're all roughly the same but it's an instrument you're going to be using for many years to come. "This is my stethoscope. There are many like it but this one is mine..." Just my 2 cents, at least.
I hope that helps! If I come up with any others, I'll post them here.
This book is unequivocally the greatest book I have ever read.
I get a hard on just thinking about it. Probably better than pathoma honestly, it's just a super limited scope of information so it's only good for cardio
https://www.amazon.com/Pathophysiology-Heart-Disease-Collaborative-Students/dp/1605477230
Marino’s ICU Book is great. The latest edition from Amazon comes with an Inkling copy which is convenient on the go. The Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics and Critical Care are both good quick references, though they have less explanation than Marino’s.
For Anesthesia, Miller’s Anesthesia is the standard Harrison’s-style specialty text. At the medical student level a lot of places recommend “Baby Miller” aka Basics of Anesthesia. I personally preferred Morgan & Mikhail’s Clinical Anesthesiology, but both are good introductory texts. FWIW, my school had both available online so it was easy to pick and choose.
Personally, learning immuno from a big picture perspective first was crucial to for me before getting bogged down with memorizing IL-this or THat. I really liked "How the Immune System Works", it was a quick read and explained things in layman's terms for dumbdumbs like me. Your call if you want to invest in a new text so close to your exam though. Good luck!
http://www.amazon.com/Immune-System-Includes-Desktop-Edition/dp/0470657294
I have seen and used a lot of atlases with myself and my peers. I (and my peers) second the Gilroy (Thieme) atlas over all other cartoon-based atlases. I have Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy and the pictures are not optimal. There are clinical correlations in the text which are helpful, but big clinical things I've found are covered in my anatomy lectures.
However, if you want to be the most popular person in the anatomy room, check this book out. http://www.amazon.com/Color-Atlas-Anatomy-Photographic-Study/dp/1582558566
I grabbed my school library's copy and the book is amazing. Others in my class bought it. It is real images of labeled and cleanly dissected donors. I usually google for anatomy cartoon drawings, but labelled pictures of actual dissected donors are hard to find, especially the number of views from the book.
Learning Radiology is a dope ass book and I highly recommend it.
As for free resources, check out the big online radiology websites like Radiopaedia which have tons of cases and some "how-to's" for certain things. And of course, Learning Radiology does have some of the tutorials for free, but they are much more comprehensive in the book, and the book has way more sections than the website.
Otherwise, Youtube is also your friend.
Felson’s principles of roentgenology is a great book to get comfortable at reading CXR and chest imaging.
https://www.amazon.com/Felsons-Principles-Roentgenology-Programmed-Goodman/dp/1455774839/ref=nodl_
I use RIP ATMLL (are there many lung lesions)
RIP for quality of the image (rotation, inspiration, penetration)
ATMLL for search pattern (abdomen, thoracic cage, mediastinum, individual lung fields, both lung fields together).
____
Don't know what to study for each rotation? Look at the wiki
In regards to how to study: OnlineMedED is now your Pathoma. UWorld is still UWorld. There is no First Aid for Step 1 for Step 2 so it is made up of a couple of books for each rotation you used / general review books (Step UP, First Aid, master the boards etc.)
The Match is really scary? Buy The Successful Match for a decent run down of the entire process etc. and tips of how to build an application
ERAS is still really scary? Check out these example applications.. start at like pg 29 unless a Pritzker student then ^read ^^it ^^^all ^^^^?
Worried about H+Ps? Get the Perfect H+P book(or download and print a bunch of decent looking templates)
Need more templates etc?? Check out Medfools! for more!!
The Successful Match has some good stuff. Maybe see if you can borrow one from a friend or Amazon prime that shiz.
this book How The Immune System Works by Lauren Sompayrac It's like <100 pages and a super easy read/very approachable. Don't pirate a PDF, buy a physical copy and read it and sleep with it and shower with it. It is incredible. Immuno went from one of my worst topics to one of my best after reading it.
I recommend compiling a document with all interesting patient encounters, presentations you did on the rotation, notable things you accomplished on the rotation. Then when it comes time for your Letter writer to compose your LOR send them that information. Then they can have anecdotes to go off and write in your letter, this will be much more powerful than a generic LOR. This book goes into much more detail about this and I recommend reading the chapter on LORs https://www.amazon.com/Successful-Match-2017-Success-Residency/dp/1937978079/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1522800836&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=residency+match
Oxford handbook of clinical specialities
And the Oxford handbook of Clinical medicine are great quick reference guides.
However the best advice given to me was know you're anatomy, and its helped so far!
Marino's ICU Book. It was recommended to me for an ICU rotation I'm doing soon (I'm interested in the field). It's really an excellent book, does a great job explaining concepts that I always had trouble with (like shunt vs. dead space, a-A gradient, etc), and they added little snippets like this to keep things interesting.
https://www.amazon.com/Rapid-Interpretation-EKGs-Sixth-Dubin/dp/0912912065 this book is amazing and explains it to you like you’re 5 years old. Lol
Sidman's Neuroantomy is an amazing workbook. I used it as my primary method of studying and got great scores on my exams.
The Dubin book is the best! My copy is orange and it'll tell you everything you need to know about EKGs for tests :)
http://www.amazon.com/Rapid-Interpretation-EKGs-Sixth-Edition/dp/0912912065
For This is the book you want, First Aid for the USMLE Step 1:
https://www.amazon.com/First-Aid-USMLE-Step-2017/dp/1259837637/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1502900505&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=first+aid+step+1
For a pdf version, message me your email and I share.
Figuring out how to tell what's important and what's not is a skill to develop. It takes time and multiple rounds of tests. First aid will direct you to what is truly important information, at least for boards, and likely for your class exams.
What material are you studying currently?
Edit: hopefully I can answer some very basically:
Overall, remember you aren't measuring the conducting fibers with EKG, you are measuring the electrical activity of the myocytes. I think this may be a major sticking point for you - causing some confusion.
There is good discussion (I had a lot of same issues you are having), but as an aside I REALLY recommend you take a look Dubin's Rapid Interpretation (I may have a pdf if you don't have access). My EKG lectures made no sense but I read through the relevant chapter there and felt like I everything made so much more intuitive sense.
http://www.amazon.com/Rapid-Interpretation-EKGs-Sixth-Dubin/dp/0912912065/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417975470&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=dubin+rapid+interpretation+of+ekg
That's really probably a lot to do/ask, especially before next week. Just as or more important, is to have the right resources to get them quickly. There are a few great medical calculator apps, but just about as fast is getting the "Purple Book" (formerly the green, then red, then blue book) for internal medicine and [Tarascon's Internal Medicine and Critical Care pocket books](Tarascon Internal Medicine & Critical Care Pocketbook). Between those two, I've only needed to look up extra calculators/equations for fairly obscure things.
The Purple book runs $40-60 usually, but I got my Tarascon for like $20-30 a couple years ago. For some reason it's more expensive than rent/a week of medical school/etc at about $485. No idea why.
*edit formatting
I recommend How the Immune System Works - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470657294?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00
The simple explanations really helped me, I think the book gives a good foundation.
Anyone have thoughts on how to go about learning the very very basics of radiology? I'm awful at anything black/white/grey (CTs, MRIs, x-rays, etc.). I've read through a couple of posts, but I'm not sure it's worthwhile going through an entire book?... fwiw, I have 8 weeks until Step 1 with 5 of those being dedicated.
Any other resources people recommend?
These are EXCELLENT books. I bought both.

https://www.amazon.com/Sidmans-Neuroanatomy-Programmed-Learning-Lippincott/dp/0781765684
Sidman's for neuroanatomy. It's the basics, but it'll do a really good job of clearing things up. I don't know what level of detail you need so you might need to supplement.
Probably the best is Felsons https://www.amazon.com/Felsons-Principles-Roentgenology-Programmed-Goodman/dp/1455774839/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=JDCA2381R8J6EBY4BATW
Learning Radiology by Herring is a great basic book, written at the level of med students: https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Radiology-Recognizing-Basics-3e/dp/0323328075
Robbins & Cotran Review Book has some great (and difficult) questions for pathology.
https://www.amazon.com/Robbins-Cotran-Review-Pathology-4e/dp/1455751553
Btw, anyone who thought this article was interesting should read Complications by Atwul Gawande. It's hard to put down once you start and is like a penny on amazon.
"The Successful Match" goes through all of this by specialty plus just general app info.

Learning Radiology by Herring is a good beginner's book.
Learning Radiology: Recognizing the Basics, 3e https://www.amazon.com/dp/0323328075/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_gjZZxb5SK7XPW
Robbin's Review of Pathology or WebPath are good for questions.
UK/EU student? I feel like pocket medicine is the US equivalent.

In addition to your current studies, I recommend utilizing Netter's Flash Cards and Rohen's Atlas.

Grapfruit and a handful of other things interact with heart drugs, these interactions aren't covered in too much detail in the textbook
Felson's Principles of Chest Roentgenology. Reasonably priced on Amazon, but I think a quick Google search yields a PDF.

> If you can get the same grades as your classmates by studying only a fraction of the time then I don't think you are the one who needs to rethink their study habits.
This sentiment really needs to get around to some of my colleagues. I know students who have literally read entire chapters of Boron... and they're still struggling. Hey champ, do you know why you're struggling? Because you spend four hours a day reading out of a textbook. Of course these students don't have lives, they spend all day not learning.
In that case i would get something like USMLE RX or Kaplan for a year if you are really struggling with questions but if you are struggling with understanding the content .https://www.amazon.com/How-Immune-System-Works-Desktop/dp/0470657294 , this book saved me
