Progress SOAP Note

Newly minted third-year medical student starting rotations and this notebook is definitely helpful. I initially bought the black version of the notebook (H&P only), but returned it in favor of this one as I realized that this version came with separate pages for progress notes. While the H&P only notebook may be useful for outpatient, in most inpatient rotations, you'll follow up with a patient on multiple days, so having progress note pages is incredibly helpful so you don't have to carry a separate notepad for progress notes. The templates make it easy for information to be organized and help you knock out patient presentations. I recommend this to anyone starting rotations to use as you begin getting used to take H&P and progress notes.

I will highly recommend for medical student and even for daily basis history presentation. Loved it and will be ordering for future as well

This notebook is incredibly helpful especially when you first start rotations as a 3rd year medical student. It's organization makes oral presentations easy and it's set up exactly how interns/residents structure their daily patient notes/to-dos, making it easy to keep up with them. The size is perfect and fits into the pocket of my white coat. Well worth the money to feel organized and prepared on rotations!

I am a DNP student currently in my clinical rotations in hospital based medicine. This product has been very helpful in keeping my patients organized for their hospital stay. It’s small enough to fit in my pocket & because I write small I have more than enough space for all of my information. The fact that there are 4 days per patient is very helpful as I have to round daily. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the perforated sheets too easily rip out. Once I figured this out I learned not to turn the pages too aggressively as to keep the pages intact. This is a great product for anyone needing H&P as well as subsequent hospital days on each patient.

This is my most essential resource on inpatient rotations. The format saves a tremendous amount of time during pre-rounding and has a perfect amount of detail in the template to ensure you never forget pertinent components of your history or physical. I love the combined format (H&P on first set of pages, followed by progress notes for up to 4 days), which allows me to stay organized during patient presentations and quickly refer to prior days for trends in labs/vitals/etc. Also facilitates with charting as the layout is identical. Would recommend to all med students entering their clinical years!

This is my favorite little book for inpatient medicine - it has a complete H & P from L to R, then four more days of follow up for that patient on the next two pages. I love that it has S-O-A-P, space for labs and To-Do list on the days for when you are following the patient. Fits in my white coat pocket and is not too heavy. Highly recommend.

Bought these books at the beginning of third year MS. So far they had no use during Psych or Peds rotations.At the beginning of ICU I started with my computer for notes but I was too slow so I switched to these notebooks. They have actually been a great help. They keep my notes and pts organized. I do have to tweak each pg up to fix the criteria that's needed for ICU pts vs ED pts, etc., but I think it's worth the small changes (white out and numbering) since it prompts you to obtain all the other basic information needed. I would say what I hate the most is that there is very little space. I have to make sure to write really small which is hard when trying to write fast. I also don't like that the soap notes are on the back side of the H&P for the next pt thus I can't tear those pgs out. All in all it is useful and I would buy it again to save me the time of writing out a template each time I see a new pt. If I was faster at typing though it would be better to make the template on the computer and take notes that way, I wouldn't bother with these notes books.

It has just about all the high yield elements that are important for rotations in one notebook, and it’s easy to carry around. And it can easily be adaptable for the outpatient setting. I only wish the pocket card had the mental status questions (it has almost all the other neuro exam components) instead of normal labs, for example, since you would go by the EMR’s reference ranges anyway so you likely won’t reference that part of the pocket card often. But other than that, it’s a really great pocket notebook for the wards!
