Why so many different places?You can find valvular heart disease (murmurs) from pages 120-129 and 525-527.You can find pancreatic cancer on pages 36 and then in more detail on page 461. Why not have all the information on one page?You can find information on breast cancer on pages 404, 412, 615. LetвЂ™s use examples.You can find duodenal atresia on pages 535, 537, and 540. вђ By far one of the most disorganized and unhelpful books IвЂ™ve ever encountered. A lot of important things are no where to be found.Overall, IвЂ™m gonna go through this book just to give myself a sense of order during step 2 ck prep.I would advise anyone to stay away from this book and focus on uworld. Things are sort of thrown around randomly. Only to be disappointed by the same with this thing.There is no order to this book. вђ I bought this book after I gave up on step up to medicine because of the many errors in that book. Consider using Amboss Learning Cards to clarify decision priorities and order of next steps. Print errata sheet and make corrections immediately. 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 doesnвЂ™t nest topics in a way that make sense to me.TLDR Ok book, 4th edition may still be betterPro: ItвЂ™s still a solid prep book that can distill topics down to what you need to know.Cons: вЂ“ More errata than previous version. It is still a good book I think for plowing through multitudes of clinical decision making. I love the side notes, reasoning, and ways they address the common mistakes that students can make. вђ This book as some good things going for it. I would recommend buying this edition if you donвЂ™t have the 4th edition already. A few new charts were added, the chapters were re arranged, and patient safety section is added. вђ ItвЂ™s pretty much 97% the same as 4th edition. I would really recommend the MedQuest videos because they add up MUCH to what you already know and to what is in the books However some diseases and treatments are mentioned in the MTB book and not in KaplanвЂ™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. 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. The fact that MTB3 focuses more on diagnosis and management than MTB2.

Many updates are found in MTB3 not even changed in the MTB2. Am very honestly saying that Master The Boards Step 3 is absolutely BETTER than the new Master The Boards Step2CK.

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. ItвЂ™s second to none for the test and memorizing facts with reviewing them, but not all medicine is here. 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. IвЂ™ve been a fan of doctor Conrad for many years so the fact that I have his book is awesome. вђ As a person who didnвЂ™t use MTB step2 ever, I canвЂ™t say anymore about how precise and direct the infos are. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content: Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG.
