USMLE and Board Review Resources

If you are one of the many students or residents who will be taking a USMLE or Board Certification exam this year, be sure to take a look at the library's USMLE study resources.  We provide a variety of review aids including question banks and quizzes like ExamMaster Online and USMLEasyLite, and online review books like the Lange Basic Science series, First Aid for the USMLE Step 1, First Aid for the USMLE Step 2, and First Aid for the USMLE Step 3.  And, if you haven't checked out WikiTestPrep, a popular question bank for Step 1 and Step 2 authored by our very own Mount Sinai medical students, now is the time!  And, of course we also have many review books in the library, both on reserve and available for check out (section W 18.2).  Please see our online guide for more information about USMLE study resources.  And, happy studying!

Videos, Animations, Images...

AccessMedicine just added a new animated video to the online version of Goodman & Gilman's Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. It's a quick visual overview of atrial myocyte electrophysiology, and it's part of a small but growing collection of animations of concepts from the book. It's also a reminder of all the other great stuff on AccessMedicine: medical videos, images to download for presentations, self-assessments for the USMLE, and of course constantly updated versions of classic textbooks that you can access anywhere, from any computer with internet access.

And just in case you're wondering, we do still have a print copy of Goodman & Gilman - it's on reserve behind the circulation desk, call number QV 4 G653 2006. No videos on those pages though!

EXAM MASTER Change

Starting September 3rd, 2007, you will need to access EXAM MASTER from the Library's database page for off-campus access. (Previously, you could sign on without doing this.) Users will also be required to register using their Mount Sinai institutional email address (mssm.edu or mountsinai.org). If you previously registered with another email address, you may change your email address by logging into Exam Master and clicking on My Account and then going to My Profile.  This change is necessary for us to protect Mount Sinai's license to this valuable resource.

EXAM MASTER is a test preparation and medical subject review licensed by the Levy Library.  It contains test questions for USMLE Step 1 (9000+ questions), USMLE Step 2 (5000+ questions), and USMLE Step 3 (3000+ questions), among others. Board Certification Review aids cover Family Practice, General Pediatrics, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Psychiatry, Pathology and SPEX.
