Some Light reading for PCCM fellowship?

[Captopril]

I was lucky enough to land a spot at a great program, but now have the dilemma of preparing for ABIM and getting my **** together for PCCM simultaneously. Any recommendations from the PCCM sages regarding what review-style book would be best to get a solid foundation for fellowship? I was thinking of hitting the ATS reading list if all else fails.

Was the OP responsible for the death of your mother? Run over your dog? Why would you offer such unbearably difficult read to him otherwise?

Lol
Good one!
It's tough but a necessary evil.

@Hernandez, any alternative suggestions?

 

[Hernandez]

Depends on what you want. CC or pulm.

 

[Captopril]

I think my Pulm is much weaker than my CC, so pulm

Muller's Diseases of the Lung: Radiologic and Pathologic Correlations

? You can get it for $50, it covers ilds and rheum related and infectious issues very well with path and radio graphic correlation. It's only 500 pages with lots of pics. It's an easy read. I read this 3 times before Pulm boards.

 

[Captopril]

Ah ok, will check it out. Pardon my skepticism

I just bought it!
I will have a beer to your health if it helps my boards...
Hell I'll have it just because!

Just FYI, I also did seek questions and read the dreaded accp review book as well but felt I learned more from that book that accp's

I'm planning on doing that and already booked the chest board review course.
That accp book is a tough but a necessary read.

Just got my copy in the mail yesterday and have blitzed through two chapters already. Excellent text!

Now if they'd only update parè & Fraser...

 

[PinkLithe]

Any suggestions for a good pulmonary physiology book? Ideally clinically oriented. Thanks!

I've yet to find one. Baby west is ok but minimal. Full west is too much for light reading.

Soooo I just took the "incoming fellows" in-service exam (why is this a thing?) and got slaughtered. Suffice to say, I ordered Muller's promptly to alleviate future slaughters.

It is supposedly getting us ready for when we take it in April

 

[Hernandez]

It is not geared towards the test. But it is a good intro to fellow level Pulm diseases that's easy to read

Any rec's for critical care?

 

[Hernandez]

If you don't have marini & Marino memorized, start there
