We are excited to introduce First Aid Clinical Algorithms for the USMLE Step 2 CK, a new and improved study tool to help you excel on the Step 2 CK. Unlike other textbooks that present diseases by shared pathology, this book organizes material by presenting symptoms in algorithms meant to demonstrate the clinical reasoning that should be used to answer the questions on test day. Many chief complaints have broad differentials that are often not helpful to consider in their entirety for any given patient. Instead, a clinician or test-taker should notice a few initial clues to narrow the differential from, say, dizziness to vertigo or a cardiac arrhythmia. Before developing a differential diagnosis. In this book, this step is organized by “meta-algorithms” that show the steps to reach a more specific chief complaint, for which there is an algorithm/HYF page from the broader chief complaint (dizziness to vertigo). These pages serve to describe frameworks for a chief complaint and the initial salient features to note. Algorithms present in a visually clear way the most vital information needed to discriminate between similarly presenting diagnoses and the correct timing of different management steps. The benefit of this format is that it helps the reader to distill the “information overload” often present in Step 2 question stems to the salient information that is needed to answer the questions quickly and correctly without being bogged down in unnecessary details. The book is comprised of paired algorithms and “High-Yield Facts” (HYF) pages so that, for a given chief complaint, the diseases that should be on your differential will be included in an algorithm that provides a step-by-step method to guide you from the chief complaint to the correct diagnosis and initial treatment. Accompanying each algorithm will be the HYF page, which lists the diseases from the algorithm and includes pertinent high-yield information that is not present in the algorithm, in particular, a brief clinical vignette, management steps, and potential complications.
