About this book

Step Up to Medicine 5th edition by Steven S. Agabegi and Elizabeth D. Agabegi provides focused internal medicine review for medical students during the clinical years of training. The book organizes common diseases around presentation, diagnosis, pathophysiology, and management, making it especially useful for connecting classroom knowledge with patient encounters and examination questions.

The 5th edition covers cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disorders, gastrointestinal disease, endocrine and metabolic disorders, central and peripheral nervous system disease, connective tissue and joint disorders, renal and genitourinary disease, fluid and electrolyte disorders, acid base abnormalities, hematologic disease, neoplasms, infectious diseases, dermatologic conditions, hypersensitivity disorders, and ambulatory medicine.

This book is intended primarily for medical students completing internal medicine coursework and clinical clerkships. Its concise organization, clinical pearls, diagnostic information, treatment guidance, review questions, and emphasis on commonly tested material make it particularly useful for preparing for National Board of Medical Examiners medicine shelf examinations and reinforcing internal medicine concepts encountered on the wards.

Medical students in clinical training can use this edition to review disease presentations, build differential diagnoses, compare diagnostic tests, understand treatment approaches, and prepare for internal medicine examinations. The 2020 5th edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access for clerkship study, NBME shelf preparation, clinical review, and examination practice.
