What books are recommended for the USMLE 3?
Currently the most recommended book is Crush step 3, accompanied by MCQs from http://www.usmleworld.com “A review of Family Practice” by Swanson was frequently read in the past and may still be an acceptable choice. Basically the syllabus is similar to USMLE 2, with more emphasis on management and ethics. So whichever books you used for part 2 are your best bet. Some examinees have studied Med study for Internal medicine, other have used Washington Manual. Some review and MCQs books are also available for part 3. It is extremely important that you practice the software sent to you by FSMB for the simulated cases on the computer. It is different than real life practice of medicine and small mistakes made due to unfamiliarity with the software may cost you the exam.
