Very detailed...couldn't read through the whole thing, but still a great reference for Step 1 and any pathology course

While possibly a bit advanced for undergraduates, I've found this book to be the single best references for people who already have some background knowledge, who need to catch up with advances in the field and don't have  the time to read 1800 pages of small print. I'd recommend it for  researchers in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industry, and  clinicians (including residents). Unlike some references that present a lot  of undigested material, the authors aggressively keep up with developments,  speak with unambiguous voices, and synthesize the facts very clearly. The  quality across the book is remarkably consistent, which is a tribute to the  tight editorial control that appears to have been exerted. (Goodman &  Gilman, by contrast, is quite uneven.)

deja review:  USMLE Step 1 is a great resource as the day of the exam nears.  The student who has a good grasp on the basics will benefit from the reinforcement provided by the rapid review and two column format.  The "Make a Diagnosis" section is especially helpful considering the high number of clinical vignettes on the USMLE.  The topics covered are high yield and help to distinguish the important material from the less important topics.  By using deja review, I was able to solidify the topics on the periphery of my knowledge base and increase my speed of recognition, saving time on the exam.  If you are looking for a quick review of your studying before taking the USMLE Step1, I would recommend this book.

I am currently using this book for my first class at AIC career institute and I find it very helpful with lots of terminology with legal & medical laws.

Out of vet school, I had a handful of textbooks and nothing much else by way of resources for daily cases. One of the other vets at my first clinic had an old version of this book, and I found myself borrowing it daily (hourly, really). Like its predecessor, this has SO much vital information in an accessible format, and the best some of the best stuff are the updates. It isn't an all-encompassing reference, but for me, it is THE reference to start the foundation of my daily resources.

I haven't taken Step2CK yet, but I am realizing how well this book highlights the main questions: What is the most likely diagnosis?, What is the best initial treatment?...etc.. It is a moderately easy read compared to other books which allows for quick gratification - desperately needed in the marathon of studying these tests take. I highly recommend as a supplement to Qbank.

This is a wonderful head & neck cytopathology text for the practicing pathologist.  Within each chapter, each lesion is presented with key features listed in a bullet list on one side, with the text opposite the list.  The images are at the end of each chapter (the only drawback of the book, as far as I can see), and are of superb quality, all in full color.  Some of the chapters also contain decision trees for classification of lesions, to aid in the differential diagnosis.  All in all, I have found this book extremely useful in my busy practice.

These cards are fantastic and are definitely perfect for medical students in the second year or those who are preparing for USMLE Step 1.  All major topics are covered efficiently but with a good level of detail.  The Organizational outline card before each organ-system block was an especially nice touch.  Overall, these are a great resource, and I would highly recommend them.

It's a great reference. My boss has another derm book but it doesnt compare to this one.  This is one of the textbooks I use the most, in fact this week I used it twice! It has an easy to follow structure and writings, plus great pictures.

This book might be a little heavy as an intro to SS7 (See Uyless Black's "ISDN & SS7" for that), but it's a great 2nd book; a book to get after you've got the basic concepts and now need to go into  the details.  It's got a tremendous amount of detail, and is a lot easier to deal with than the Specs.

First and foremost I would like to start with praising the amazing customer service team from Memorang. They are very friendly and supportive to work with through all questions and concerns. Memorang has become a very essential cornerstone in my preparation for Step 1. Its high yield integrative approach helps make concepts easier to understand and memorize. With most of the information coming from First Aid Step 1, this makes it an excellent supplemental resource to help master that huge book. I feel it also adds a little bit of diversity into the step preparation regime. Usually medical students can find it easy to become overburdened with multiple different resources, but Memorang helps make an important and essential exception. It's the perfect supplement to your studies since it integrates major concepts that otherwise seem difficult to conquer. Definitely give Memorang a shot and you won't regret it! Worth every penny!!!

I initially bought this book for my Emergency Medicine Rotation.  However, one of my question books suggested that I actually do a rotation in Emergency Medicine before I take Step 2.  Because I have already scheduled my board exam before my emergency medicine rotation I figured that it would be helpful to review this book.  And it was!

  This book gives you the initial step, next step, and presentation that is needed for the USMLE 2 exam.  It is great for my style of studying.

I was introduced to this text as a required book for one of my intro biology courses. I quickly found it to be an invaluable guide- especially if teachers and instructors are unclear about what they are looking for. You can still produce a solid, well-written scientific paper with this book. And it can continue to be a great guide even at a professional level. I bought a copy for myself after my courses ended to ensure i'd always have a reliable reference.

In particular, its guidelines for citations are very helpful!

step by step - a little outdated examples but still good

If my pathology book could have a Crush Soder or an Amullette' or Mullete hairdo with gel and spray....it would certainly be this edition which brings the Application and Practice into perspective after of course having arrived to the right ongoing diagnosis based on clinical presentation of the patient and their history and family history...this is a general how to... and other areas of high interest including...SPORTS... That's what I said Sports...aka Orthopedic (i.e. massage too...you need to know when to make referrals...).

This book is an excellent source for USMLE S1 when used along with FA. Has a lot of Charts , tables etc. Summarizes Kaplan's lecture notes. Good luck with your step 1
