The purpose of this unique title is to provide internal medicine residents and physicians, as well as other professionals engaged in internal medicine practice, with a single resource of comprehensive, abundantly helpful, time-saving training and practice notes. Developed by a now highly experienced hospitalist physician during his three years’ residency training in internal medicine, as well as during his current role as a practicing hospitalist, these notes provide a broad framework and tool not only for the learning and practicing of internal medicine after graduation from professional schools and during training, but after residency training as well. The majority of the notes were presented as one to a few sentences, rendering the information succinct and easy to digest. The notes also provide simple, key information in patient care including, but not limited to, the workup and management of a wide range of clinical scenarios. The book was divided into three general areas -- 1) daily notes taken during the author’s residency training (in the format of a diary with the original dates but updated knowledge and information), 2) notes for outpatient medicine and clinical subspecialties, and 3) notes as a hospitalist. The daily notes were based on knowledge and experiences the author learned from actual clinical cases (workup, medication regimen, patient education, and sometimes patient and family interactions). The notes for outpatient medicine and clinical subspecialties were based on specific topics/subspecialties and were heavily clinically oriented with a focus on patient care. The addition of notes as a hospitalist was based on the author’s duties as a hospitalist, which requires knowledge and understanding of acute neurological and neurosurgical issues, various types of cancers, and some common yet complicated or uncommon clinical scenarios of infectious diseases. A major contribution to the internal medicine education literature, Internal Medicine Training Notes and Survival Guide: An Insider’s Roadmap for the Journey from Resident to Attending Physician will appeal to a wide readership, including resident physicians, practicing physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners in internal medicine.

The transition from medical student to physician is one of the most important events in the life of a young doctor. From the moment medical school graduates step foot on the internal medicine ward as "real doctors," they will be leaving behind civilian life forever. Hereafter, patients, family and friends will look to the new doctor for help and healing, counting on years of study and training to have provided the tools to diagnose and treat disease. Residency is a challenging time because doctors are charged with learning as much as they can, but are also hospital employees with a job to perform. The hope of this guide is that an intern will be able to navigate the rocky waters of internship whether remaining in internal medicine residency or matriculating to another field such as dermatology, neurology, anesthesiology, or radiology. This guide is not a practical how-to, as a residency program should provide such support. It is, however, designed to help interns maneuver the pitfalls of the workplace, navigate interpersonal interactions and utilize the best tools and practices during the course of their internship.

This book was conceptualized after observing the struggles of interns during the first months of residency. As new medical graduates or foreign graduates, the transition to residency can be a daunting one. The tips and advice suggested in this book initially started out as a 2-page list. After rave reviews from interns at our hospital, it was expanded to include practical advice on a range of situations encountered by interns daily. The authors hope these pointers can empower new interns to approach the coming months with confidence and ever-increasing competence.
