Pre-Test Book/app/eBook

I liked the Pre-Test book for Family Medicine. You can get the hard copy, kindle version, or app.

Family Practice Board Review Book/App

The other book that I used was Family Practice Board Review, by McGraw-Hill. It’s actually meant to be for physicians studying for the family practice licensure boards, and it’s probably more detailed than you really need for a clerkship, but I found it to be helpful and user-friendly. It’s more expensive than the Pre-Test book, but I felt like it was more comprehensive. The version that I used was actually an iPad app with questions and case scenarios.

Firecracker

As with other clerkships, I also loved Firecracker.
