| If it has been a while since you last studied basic science subjects, this book is right for you. It has more details than most reviews for the USMLE Step 1 Examination, and its textbook format is an advantage: I find it difficult to study with texts that are based on questions and answers. The space provided for notes is very usefull. You might think that the chapter on Anatomy is too long, but when I took the USMLE Examination, I found out that there was more anatomy mixed in the questions than I expected. The chapters on Microbiology and Behavioral Sciences are excelent. The second part of the book covers almost all the Patology you will need. The chapters on Biochemistry and Pharmacology are good to refresh your knowledge, but are not enough to take the test. In conclusion, if you have the time to read it, it is a good book to prepare for the USMLE Step 1 Examination. |

| Usmlesteps123 is the complete package. An excellent source of questions and CCS cases for step 3. The quality of questions is good, however, the explanations are sometimes brief and more questions would be helpful. The CCS cases are superb and an excellent interactive way to practice cases. I had no problems understanding the software and how to handle CCS cases after going through their cases. Along with Crush Step 3 or First Aid for Step 3 and Kaplan Qbook, I highly recommend [...]for step 3 preparation. |

| The cases format allows quick and segmental review of popular surgical and trauma presentations. High yield tips designed for Shelf and USMLE2 examinations are very useful.
Ok, Ok, so I'm going into psychiatry and don't like surgery and didn't do well in my rotation. This book got me ready for Surgery, Step 2 style, with as little pain as possible. Author has a way of explaining things that makes sense and all the high-yield stuff seems to be covered (at least, all of the surgery stuff that was on my exam). Highly recommend!
I really enjoyed using this series to review for step 2. It kept me focused on the "big picture" and forced me to realize which subjects I did and didn't know, allowing to focus my limited study time on areas I was weak in. Well-written cases with great explanations. Definitely a 5-star review source. |

| Terrific review book. It's in the body systems format and does a good job of integrating material, with the possible exception of pharm. Very useful for Step 1 study.
Gotta say, i've used several review book for the boards, and this one certainly has good stuff. easy to use tables, graphs, and a compilation of all the important stuff from the other review books. not a bible like first aid, but a good, clean comprehensive review. helped me match ortho baby.<p>good luck
for a first edition, this book does have some errors but it is by far the best thing out there right now ... excellent diagrams, great figures, and phenomenal systems-based approach to the boards ...<p>a must buy for the individual who wants to do well on the boards!!!! |

| I am currently an M1 in my first semester. While struggling with the embryology lectures, and frustrated with our embryo book, I decided to purchase this book. I am VERY impressed with this book, and the way it presents the material. It is condensed, though complete. It also has great illustrations, explanations, and useful clinical aspects of abnormalities. I didn't understand embryo before using this book, but now I have aced the questions with no problems. |
