Mnemonics have been around for years. They have been shown to be an extremely useful aid in learning the details of medicine, especially when there are "lists of key causes" to remember. These lists are often on written and clinical exams and medical board tests, so it is incumbent on the student to know them well. After a while, the use of mnemonics will become easy.The sheer volume of facts to learn and memorize in the study of Medicine can be daunting. I have been teaching clinical adult medicine to students for over 30 years (Medical, Physician Assistant, and Nursing) and it is not unusual for us to deal with 25 different diagnoses while on daily hospital rounds. I teach the students the importance of having a "differential diagnosis" of a medical problem at their fingertips.When students repeat lists of medical problems and their causes over and over, this is an example of memorizing by rote. This book helps solve the problem of mountains of information and rote memorizing. One of the ways of remembering the large volume of medical facts is through knowing mnemonics. In this book, I have developed over 200 "easy to recall" mnemonics and other pearls that will aid the student grasp important lists of differential diagnoses concerning common medical problems. I have chosen the most common internal medicine problems in 12 main categories.
