blueprints is excellent...one of the best blueprints is obgyn. i still refer to it as i study 4 step2.

otherwise, eat lots, buy comfy sneakers, and always stay hydrated!

As a fourth year ob/gyn resident, I can tell you what we look for when we evaluate the medical students. Look interested, be aggressive, ask questions, we're not looking for you to become ob/gyns, just come on time, round on your patients and show some sort of work ethic!

Beckman seems to be the book that most medical students like to use. I also used the little pocket guide by CCPS (it was a maroon colored little pocket guide). Read in advance before you start the rotation. Cardinal movements of labor, the layers of the abdomen, etc. Blueprints is good and also helpful for Step 2 and 3. If you guys have any specific questions I'd be more than happy to answer them! rizwana
