This book is the first purchase I recommend for medical students about to start their third year, and is one of the most helpful resources for clerkships.
The book is broken down as follows:

The first 50 pages begin with an overview of what third year is like and lots of basic information that you are never really taught, but feel foolish for asking (e.g. what is the difference between a chief resident and an intern? What do the various hospital staff do?). It also has survival tips, sample H&P/SOAP notes, admit orders, oral presentation advice, and scheduling recommendations. It then has a short section of high-yield info that is useful for every clerkship (e.g. fluid replacement, overview of common hospital antibiotics and their uses, etc). This section is best to read BEFORE starting third year.

The next 400 pages are broken down into chapters by clerkship, with each being roughly 50 pages (except IMED which is around 75). Every chapter begins with a basic overview of the rotation, what your typical schedule looks like (freakishly accurate), your responsibilities on that rotation, tips specific for that rotation, sample progress notes, and my favorite: "what to keep in your pockets". This is followed by a high-yield review of the most important topics for that clerkship, sort of like a mini First Aid. This includes tons of full-color pictures and the high-yield diagrams you expect from a First Aid book. At the end of each chapter is a list of additional high-yield topics that you should study on your own. The idea is that you read each chapter before you start that rotation, but I found that it usually took me most of the first week to finish a chapter.
