I believe the current pre-clinical folks are eager to learn from your experience. The methods you adopted, study techniques, books you used, what your strongest point was, any mistakes and also the other courses.

DrHesjay: Thanks for the tips @ebsuguy....
.
which textbook do you think is d best for biochem?

estyann: I have a first degree in chemistry, I want to further my education but I'm a little confused....

Should I pick an MSC form for clinical pharmacology ( is there a department in the hospital that can enable me to work as a pharmacologist?)

Should I just go straight to MSC public health and lastly

Should I just pick a DE form 4 medicine?
Although I'm also considering the number of years I'll spend studying again so the last option is strictly my mum's opinion, not mine....

But pls, what do you guys think And advice.....

ebsuguy: Sir Lomax pls o your help is needed on textbooks to acquire,how to study,which is best to begin with etcetera

lomaxx:
So you're about to begin your clinical years. First thing I would tell you is that life would never be the same again. Clinicals is a different ball game entirely, but the same principles apply. Whatever formula that has been helping you, apply same here.
In clinicals, there is a whole lot to learn in a micrscopically short period of time. The strategy here is to learn as much as you can when you can. Don't wait for special moments- you may never have them.
Beginning from the first clinical year you'll have : Pathology, and Pharmacology.
Pathology is subdivided into Histopathology, Haematology, Medical Microbiology and Chemical Pathology.
For Pathology, many people will tell you they used Robbins and Cortan Pathologic Basis of Disease. Well, I stopped using it after my first test in Pathology because I found other greener pastures.
1) Concise Pathology by Para Chandrasoma, and Clive Roy Taylor(best textbook ever). It was carefully remixed with:
2) Pathology Secrets ( adapted from Robbins and Cortran Pathologic Basis of Disease); and
3) Lecture Notes from http://www.pathguy.com (best for MCQs)
-Hematology:
I used
1) Hoffbrand Hematology and
2) Zako's Hematology Notes (Just Google it and it will take you to the link). Perfect for brushing up stuff.
Medical Microbiology
There's a lot of stuff on Medical Microbiology. I used:
1) Jawetz, Melnick, & Adelberg's Medical Microbiology
2) Medscape (online stuff).
Chemical Pathology. A lot of people used Martin Crook Clinical Chemistry and Metabolic Medicine. Never used that. Mine was:
1) A Primer of Chemical Pathology Evelyn S. C. Koay, Robert Noel Walmsley. Carefully remixed with
2) Medical Biochemistry by Charteajea ( I was always among the top 3% in chemical pathology. This never failed)
Then for Pharmaology.
1) Basic & Clinical Pharmacology, by Bertram G. Katzung(depending on the time you have. Never used it. Only decorated my reading table)
2) BRS Pharmacology ( it's very concise. )
3) USMLE Pharmacology ( don't know where I would have been in Pharm but not for this book. My 2ND MB Exam in Pharm was epic. From the MCQs to the Essay to the Viva. This book played a pivot role)
Internal Medicine. You'll be doing postings in internal medicine as well.
1) R. Alagappan A Manual of Practical Medicine.( Everything you'll ever be asked in Ward Rounds will be in this book)
2) API Textbook of Medicine( I don't fancy Davidson and Kumar and Clark. This one serves me perfectly)
3) Oxford Handbook of Medicine (should always be in your pocket )
Surgery
1) Principles and Practice of Surgery in the Tropics - Badoe and Achampong
2) SRB's Manual of Surgery( you'll need this for exam)
3) SRB's Clinial Methods in Surgery(very necessary )
4) Norman Browse's Introduction to the Symptoms and Signs of Surgical Diseases
With all these, you are armed to conquer.
