NMS Review for the USMLE Clinical Skills Exam (National Medical Series for Independent Study)
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 05-SEP-07, Volume 298, Issue 9 -- "The Step 2 CS examination has 3 primary components: data gathering and documentation; communication and professionalism skills; and spoken English proficiency. Other review books tend to emphasize the section on data gathering, but NMS Review strives to offer a more balanced and thorough review of the examination by addressing all 3 examination components...This format engages the reader, reinforces the relative importance of certain physical examination findings, and provides clinical connections...Many other review books, such as the popular First Aid for USMLE Step 2 CS, offer only lists of questions to ask and physical examination maneuvers to perform...The broader scope of the NMS Review topics serves as an excellent memory refresher and neatly summarizes concepts learned in the third year."-Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
