More About the Author

I live in Chicago, Illinois with my wife and two young sons. I work at Cook County (Stroger) Hospital as an Emergency Physician. After finishing medical school at Northwestern University in 1998, I completed a residency in Emergency Medicine at Cook County. I started as a faculty member in 2002 and began work as an assistant program director and clerkship director. Under the mentorship of Robert Simon, I began work on my first book project, Emergency Orthopedics, The Extremities in 2005. My interest in medical student education in Emergency Medicine prompted a second book, USMLE Road Map: Emergency Medicine. We use this book in our medical student curriculum at Cook County. Most recently, the newest edition of Emergency Orthopedics has been released with a new section on the spine, all new color figures, and video clips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential text for MS3 or MS4 EM clerkship, January 1, 2008

Outstanding EM clerkship text for any rotating student, including those interested in applying to EM residents. Reading and mastering this book alone should help any student ace the USMLE step 2 exam (EM represents a sizable share of the exam). Would also be very useful for PGY1 or PGY2 residents in order to prepare for the national inservice exams. Highly recommended!

I am a 4th year medical student who read this book during my emergency medicine rotation at Cook County. This book is very well written and high yield. It is to the point and concise and was very helpful for my exam. The book is full of high-yield facts and also detailed enough to provide a wide range of knowledge. I highly recommend this book for anyone going into Emergency Medicine or rotating in an ED.

This review is from: USMLE Road Map: Emergency Medicine (LANGE USMLE Road Maps) (Paperback)

I liked it for quick review of things, especially the fact that it had mnemonics to use for some of the drug OD stuff. This isn't a text book so it's obviously not very good if you need a more thorough understanding of diseases (it covers things superficially). Manageable reading if you're studying for a medical school EM test.
