Internal Medicine Quiz
INTRODUCTION
I hope you find this site helpful in getting a basic review of Internal Medicine.
I had put this together while I was at UT-Houston almost two years ago. It has
not been until now that I have been able to find a home for it after putting some
finishing touches. Currently there are forty questions that offer a broad coverage
of this vast field. Though it is in no way a complete review, I do hope that you
will find it useful in preparations for the ward experience or the Internal Medicine
Board exam.
This site was created using some questions from Harrison's
Principles of Internal Medicine,and the MKSAP
review questions, which were then embellished with images from French's
Differential Diagnosis Book, Forbes & Jackson's Color
Atlas & Text Of Clinical Medicine with some electrocardiography images
from Marriotts Practical Electrocardiography.
A few of the questions were based on personal experience. I HIGHLY
recommend the above general sources to any student wanting to learn Internal
Medicine. I found them to be wonderful resources. I have tried to do a literature
search for most of the questions to support the correct answer. I have tried
to provide as many of the references as possible for those of you who are
interested in checking out the primary sources. However, given the rapidly
changing face of medicine, I cannot guarantee that some of this information
may not be up-to-date. Please let me know if you come across something that
needs to be corrected.
DIRECTIONS
This site is designed to be somewhat interactive. Try to select the right answer
and you will get immediate feedback. Once you have legitimately tried to answer
the question you may click on the Explanation link for
a brief explanation of the right answer.
I hope you enjoy this site and find it useful. I hope not only to answer some
questions for you but, more importantly, to also inspire you to look for other
answers on your own. Your comments and suggestions are welcomed....
Good luck... and don't forget to check the explanation
for each answer.
