This review is from: Coping in Medical School (Paperback)

This book is not really helpful to the average first year medical student trying to get by. It consists of lots of silly activities that you don't even have time to think about as a first year. I had to dig through this book to find anything interesting or useful about coping in medical school. It is not a practical book. If you really want help coping in medical school, take a few nights off a week and go out with friends! The book by the princeton review is much more interesting.
