Case Files: Obstetrics & Gynecology
by: Eugene C. Toy

Editorial Review:

The closest you can get to seeing patients without being on the wards!
Students need exposure to cases to pass the USMLE Step 2 and the obstetrics and gynecology shelf exam. This book presents 60 clinical cases illustrating essential concepts in obstetrics and gynecology. Perfect for the clerkship and the USMLE Step 2, each case includes an extended discussion, definitions of key terms, clinical pearls, and USMLE-style review questions. This interactive learning system helps you to learn instead of memorize.
*60 ob/gyn cases with complete discussions
*Clinical pearls highlight key points
*USMLE-style comprehension questions with each case
*Primer on how to approach the patient
*Proven learning system improves shelf exam scores
Superior to other case file books.

Using clinical scenarios not only makes the reading fun and interesting, but it is far more engaging than sitting down with a bulleted text and reviewing detail after detail. This is a much better way to learn clinical information. I have not read a book like this before, and I certainly have enjoyed it.
--Eric Hossler, Medical Student, James H. Quillen College of Medicine
I LOVED this book! I would recommend this book to all third-year students... The book uses a clinical approach and does not lose sight of the pathophysiology behind the disease -- GREAT preparation for being on the wards! The subject matter is also deceptively detailed, with much more information than one normally finds in a text of case files. The reader can use this book as either a rigorous self-test or a read-through introduction to the subject. Once again - a GREAT text!

great book.:

this is an amazing book. great for learning the material for the rotation as well as the shelf exam (hits on the important things to know...it got me honors).

Great Book:

I am a second year medical student preparing for the boards while taking my courses. I really like this book. It gives a case then after the case has a description of the answer, a detailed explanation of the case, diagnosis, treatment, definitions, etc. It finishes each section with a few multiple choice questions. The chapters are short enough to read one in your"spare time." I recommend this to any medical student that enjoys to read case studies as a complement to their textbook reading. :)

A must-have for 3rd year OB/GYN rotation:

This book helped me to honor my 3rd year OB/GYN rotation. I recommend it- easy reading with lots of pearls throughout. I just kept it at my bedside and read a few cases a night. I used this with Blueprints and was very prepared for the shelf exam.

Most Efficient Resource for Shelf Exam:

Echoing the sentiments of previous reviewers, this book basically has 30-40% of the Ob/Gyn shelf within its pages. A lot of my friends read the book as well and were similarly amazed at its mimcry. Some of the questions seem to directly stem from the 60 cases in this text. You're hurting yourself by NOT reading this. It provides a good foundation for the major scenarios you might encounter in Ob/Gyn. It's particularly effective because the Ob/Gyn shelf is really specialized to the field and doesn't have too... more info
