All the material is evidenced based (with references to clinical trials) with sources used including Uptodate, Harrisons Principals to Internal Medicine 19th Edition, Pocket Medicine 5th Edition, MKSAP 17, and Online MedEd amongst others.I hope this guide is helpful to you in your training and beyond.
