This is a strong resource for medical students near the time they are applying for residency. It was well organized and covered the Match process sequentially, from choosing a residency, a time table, choosing an advisor, recommendation letters, interviews, and making your List, etc. I thought the coverage on "what are they [residency programs] looking for?" was particularly strong.It has a chapter on special situations, but be aware that coverage for international graduates is very brief. It also doesn't cover a lot about choosing a specialty (I thought Anita Taylor's book on how to choose a medical specialty was best for that). It also doesn't cover a lot about strategizing the early medical school years, but that doesn't mean that a first or second year student couldn't benefit from it. I got this book right before starting medical school and matched at my first-choice ophthalmology residency, and this book was great help. Although coverage of some topics (such as for international graduates) was brief, its conciseness was a strong point when I didn't have a lot of time to read, enabling me to read it during my first year and "prime" myself for the match. I was also able to review it again during the interview/match process, and since it was not a heavy book, I was able to take it with me to interviews. This was a very worthwhile book for me.
