The USMLE Step 3 examination is a large stepping stone that one must pass in the long journey to become a knowledgeable and capable physician. The majority of questions are based on a clinical story that is presented and aims to test one's ability to perform critical thinking and to predict the next step in management and treatment. And so with this in mind, we have embarked on this mission to find a way to document and present this complex information in a manner that would be most beneficial for our students. We hope that as you read these books you will not only be able to memorize and relearn a bunch of clinical facts, but also to apply this information in clinical scenarios that we have written in the Qbook. Written by three physicians currently in residency, this text is highly clinically relevant as a variety of cases are actual patient scenarios experienced by the authors themselves. Please enjoy!

The medical literature is enormous. It is filled with information that is growing as you are reading this sentence. Having entered the realm of medical school and residency, it is very difficult to gather and master the information that is most critical. After much review of current USMLE Board preparation texts, we have attempted to create a more concise and focused text that addresses the heart of the major issues that are not only commonly tested but also encountered as one is taking care of sick patients. We have put much thought and effort into providing a text that can be used by pre-medical and medical students, as well as physicians and those in all scientific fields. Our goal is to provide an avenue of knowledge that can be used to heal that which is most important to us: Our Patients! Enjoy!
