| This book is good for second year medical students taking Step 1 of the USMLE. It's a concise and comprehensive text of what you'll need to know for Step 1. If you understand the material in this book, you will do alright on Step 1. The information could be better organized (and it's not fully comprehensive), but otherwise this book is well recommended. |

| I would like to admit, first of all, that I have not read this book. However, I was in Dr. Pelley's biochem class (Texas Tech School of Medicine) while he was writing it. He is not only a fantastic chemist and educator, but a fanatic about presenting his material in a style that can be accessed and understood by all. He has a profound understanding of many learning styles and knows that each student learns differently. Any material presented by Dr. Pelley will be easy to understand and "right to the point." Because I am still attending TTUSOM I will not reveal my name... I don't want to look like I'm sucking up! But do yourself a favor and buy this book. If Dr. Pelley wrote it... you gotta read it |

| No one is better to talk about International Medical Graduates, than an IMG himself. That's what the author of this book Keshav Chander does. He takes us a on a step by step path towards a successful process to gain a US medical residency. Everything gets covered here under the highlight od simple, easy to read English that makes all teh complicated stuff, much, much easier.<p>The book starts of with the simple, run of the mill introduction to every aspect of the medical education process in the US, covering all the USMLE Steps 1, 2 and 3. Chander also explains the mandatory CSA and the walk-in-the-park TOEFL. I admit, you can get better books that explains these exams, but the author provides with a good overview and does not delve deep into details. After that, the book starts getting interesting with the Residency process. Everything major is covered here. From the application through ERAS, to the interview, to the match with NRMP and finally the application process. He even goes at it by explaining how life is in the US and what are the necessary steps to get a social security number, a house and even commuting from the hospital to home. A lot of important, but sometimes overlooked details are mentioned here that make an important part of the application process and the setting in to a different and at times intimidating environment.<p>This book is every IMG's dream come true, with easy to understand language and clear headlines. Highly recommended for those planning to go into the gruesome task of applying to the US.
I really like the book. It outlines many key steps needed for residency application. I think it will be helpful if it includes details about some of the minimum requiremetns for each residency program,...Otherwise it is pretty comprehensive!
This is a book for the IMGs,by the IMG.It contains all the information of what to do in united states as an IMG to successfully pass USMLE and get in to residency match program.It contains information of difficulties an IMG has after he just entered residency.It introduces you to what is actually there in residency and what it takes to be a good resident.But it doesnt contain information on how to select your program or what to ask for in an interview which i found it in Iversons getting in to residency.Neverthe less i am proud to own this book<br>amaresh |

| Gupta's physio text for the USMLE step 1 is a decent summary for the exam. My other option was Costanzo Physiology BRS. I used both of them and thought they work well together (it's not that bad getting thru these 2).<p>-mdn |
