Simulating the clinical approach to decision making, the 47 clinical vignettes in this study guide for USMLE Step 2 are arranged randomly to help students practice diagnosing and treating patients in the emergency room. Each case summarizes the subject's symptoms and test results, pinpoints an initial diagnosis, identifies the main principles crucial to the case, walks through the clinical approach to the problem, and provides several multiple choice questions for review.
