Which Pharm Book For An Intern’s White Coat?
(In the interest of full disclosure: some of the links in RookieDoc posts are affiliate links, meaning that I might get a small commission if you purchase them through my link.)
One of the RookieDoc members shot me an email asking me about the pharmacology references I recommend to carry around in your white coat as an intern or a resident.
Here was a portion of our exchange:
Question:
I noticed you recommended Tarrascon Pocket Pharm – which edition is better, shirt pocket or lab coat pocket? I know the shirt pocket is a lot smaller, but will that be enough? It would be nice not to have to tote around a bigger book…if you could let me know what you think that would be great! Thanks again! I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly.
Answer:
You’re right, it’s better to carry around the smaller book.
Whatever you buy, save the receipt… and submit it for reimbursement if you have an education stipend.
I hope that helps 🙂
