THE MEDICAL RESIDENCY RESOURCE LIST

It is highly recommended that you consult some of these or other resources for your residency preparation. Some of the books are available to browse through at the Office of Student Affairs, 984 Armour Academic Center. Others are available at the Rush Bookstore and most on-line bookstores. Note that the Internet resources will be continuously changing and new web sites will be introduced regularly, so it is recommended to stay current on the most useful web sites available. Of course, some of the best resources will always be your advisor and physicians in your specialty as well as new residents.
