EmmetMD,
By Emily Emmet (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Survival Bible for Women in Medicine (Paperback)
I thought this book was moderately helpful. I'm about to start my residency in OB-Gyn and this book offered a few helpful hints. Most of it seemed to be common sense, however. If you've made it through med school, you'll probably already know most of the information. Some of the chapters about medicine being so male dominated seemed a little out of date.
