Textbook for Step 2

[hungrydoc710]

So I think my primayr sources will be UW, OME vids, and OME decks by Dorian.

However I think it would be nice to have a text to annotate UW possibly and read up on things thru 3rd year clerkships.
Is Step Up to Medicine the gold standad text for Step 2 or is First Aid just as good?

Thanks.

I have been annotating my FA CK as I am doing UW on my clerkships and it has made shelf study a breeze. Most of the book is IM (which was my first shelf), but the Psych (2nd shelf) chapter is pretty comprehensive. With my UW annotations, the book is going to be dedicated study period gold.

Note with my covid time off I had the opportunity to read Step Up to Medicine cover to cover to prep for starting medicine. Don't get me wrong it is a great book and much more comprehensive than FA CK, but it is just Medicine and doesn't give the same high yield tidbits that FA does.
