Must have for clinical rotations/simulation
I used this in sim lab and found it to be super helpful. On clinical rotations this tool was the MVP. This along with Pocket medicine and Pocket primary care are the only books in this series that I recommend. If you want to only get one I would pick this one. The info in this pocket guide is broad enough that I was still using it when I was on my other rotations.

Succinct EM Resource
Most succinct resource for EM Clerkship/SubI and Intern year. Feels like WikEM in physical form. EMRA Handbook and online resources (Core Pendium, AMBOSS, UpToDate) are too wordy and/or not focused enough in comparison. Pocket Medicine is also solid but only gets 80% of the way since it’s geared for IM Wards. Same binding as usual for Pocket ____ Books.

Surprisingly elegant for being so concise
Awesome for Emergency Medicine Clinical rotations. Well written & concise. A highly recommended handy dandy reference for a 4th year EM clerkship.

Too many abbreviations
Great resource, but abbreviations make it difficult to read. It sometimes has some useful definitions of the abbreviations nearby, but most of the time it does not and it reduces the usefulness of the book.
