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.

This book is derived from notes taken during a dermatology residency and it represents a comprehensive yet condensed approach to a dermatology curriculum, listing every entity with only the most important and testable facts and mnemonics. There is an intimidating large amount of material for young dermatologists and other doctors with an interest in dermatology to learn, and this guide puts it all into a concise and manageable context. Further, introductions to the dermatology physical exam and dermatopathology, as well short guides describing the basics of medications, basic science, cosmetics, and surgery are included. The goal of this guide is not primarily to help with visual identification of diagnoses, but rather to help young dermatologists learn to create differential diagnoses and learn all the important facts for myriad diseases. Given its unique approach, this guide will serve new residents well in quickly adapting to a new field, and also, it will serve senior residents as quick review of all topics in preparation for in service and board examinations. In general, there are very few dermatology board review books of any kind and therefore this book will immediately have a market among dermatology students, residents, rotators, and faculty.

Have pharmacology test anxiety or a feeling of overwhelm? This fast and easy pharmacology review through pharmacology flash card mnemonics and fill-ins recognizes that many future nurses, doctors, physician assistants, and pharmacists (chemists) have families, jobs, and other responsibilities. Do you have time enough time to make 100%% sure you will pass in the classroom or on the board exam? For most students taking the NCLEX, NAPLEX, USMLE Step-1, PANCE, GPHC, or KAPS exam, the answer is no. I wrote this mnemonic guide as an audiobook first to help you remember pharmacology drug names and principles quickly. While in the classroom you professors might say memorization doesn't matter, but you can't bring outside material to the board exam, so for this test, you do need to work on memory training. You already know the consequences of failing a class or board exam, so let's make sure that doesn't happen by getting pharmacology organized in your head once and for all.
