Med School Confidential from Robert H. Miller and Daniel M. Bissell uses the same chronological format and mentor-based system that have made Law School Confidential and Business School Confidential such treasured and popular guides. It takes the reader step-by-step through the entire med school process--from thinking about, applying to, and choosing a medical school and program, through the four-year curriculum, internships, residencies, and fellowships, to choosing a specialty and finding the perfect job. With a foreword by Chair of the Admissions Committee at Dartmouth Medical School Harold M. Friedman, M.D., Med School Confidential provides what no other book currently does: a comprehensive, chronological account of the full medical school experience.

Book Description
Being a physician is an amazing privilege, and it can be a deeply rewarding career...but first you have to get through medical school. Students, who were often at the top of their class prior to medical school, now find themselves surrounded by equally bright, hardworking, overachieving classmates and facing new challenges from rigorous curricula to specialty selection to navigation of unchartered territories of mentorship, clinical rotations, and research. Thriving in medical school requires more than smarts--it requires new learning strategies, organization, time management, teamwork skills, mentorship, adaptability, resilience, and more. This book brings together advice from medical educators, practicing physicians, and current medical students to help new medical students not just survive medical school but handle the transition with grace and position them to succeed and thrive.

Book Description
People decide to go to medical school for all kinds of reasons, most of them bad, some downright terrible: "My parents want me to be a doctor""Ummm, seemed like a better idea than law school?""Prestige, yo!""Cashmoney make it rain, baby""Job security! I'll always have a job, and nobody can fire me""I wanna help people!""Couldn't think of anything else to do with my life"Wrong, wrong, and so wrong. But hey, I don't blame you. 'Cause you've never been a doc. How can you possibly know what it's like? Like parenting, nobody really knows what they're getting into until they've done it themselves.That's why you need to hear from the people who've already been through the experiences you're seeking to have: med students and doctors who have contributed the 70 or so short pieces to this book. You¿ll hear from the disillusioned orthopedist of 14 years; the guy who goes to med school after 10 years in the military; the chief resident who quits in his final year; the 58-year old cardiologist with heartache; the blissfully content rural doc; the 35-year old obstetrician/gynecologist who suddenly feels stuck and can¿t escape; med students, residents, and dozens more, from both the pro and con contingents. This way, you get a flavor for what a medical career is like in each phase of training and practice. The book has eight sections: 1) Introduction and my essays. 2) ¿The Voice of Reason,¿ featuring balanced, well-reasoned pieces on what it means to be a doctor, with both the pluses and minuses from practicing physicians.3 &4) Pieces from medical students, residents and practicing physicians who are pro and con a medical career.5) Lifestyle and relationship issues in the context of a medical career.6) Interviews with two practicing physicians. One is Dr Dean Ornish, a well-known physician and an eloquent proponent of medicine if there ever was one. 7) Alternatives to medicine: naturopathy, physical therapy, pharmacy, physician¿s assistant, research, nurse practitioner, osteopathy, veterinary school, biomedical engineering. 8) Further resources.

Book Description
In the past ten years, we have had many books on health and nutrition simply replicate the themes in "The Zone Diet" by Barry Sears, which changed the way we think about carbohydrate and our health. "Everything They Don't Teach at Harvard Medical School" uncovers exactly and specifically how the molecule we call fat is made in the body in a way a teenager can understand. The support for the design on how fat is made comes not from Okinawa, The French Riviera, or South Beach, but from little known secrets in the animal kingdom. Why didn't any book ever answer how fat was made? It would solve so many problems! Cattle raising has already been the cause of 90% of the South American rainforest destruction. Most low carbohydrate book are sending out the wrong message. This work recaptures the progressive spirit of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring", which launched the environmental movement. "Where have been the breaking discoveries in science and medicine this decade?", the New York Times asks. It has been nearly two decades since "The Zone" illustrated how insulin stores body fat. Unfortunately, caloric theory still remains in every major hospital and medical school. As Mark Twain once wrote, "A lie well-told is hard to kill." "Everything They Don't Teach at Harvard Medical School" solves this controversy. The book is the first to break the fat code, hermetically and decisively, overturning both cholesterol and caloric theories.
