Product Description
Thoroughly revised and updated for its Fourth Edition, Step-Up to USMLE Step 1 is the most effective comprehensive systems-based review for the USMLE Step 1 exam. The book has been widely acclaimed for its high-yield, systems-based organization, which parallels the USMLE Step 1 content outline and helps students synthesize the information from their basic science courses. The popular, user-friendly format features numerous charts and diagrams and "Quick Hits" notes in the margins that help students integrate concepts across systems. In the Fourth Edition, clinical vignettes have been developed within each chapter, pharmacology has been further integrated into the systems-based format, a "Crunch Time Review" has been added, and a completely new chapter outlines study tips and strategies. All information has been reviewed by faculty to ensure accuracy. A companion Website features fully searchable online text, a sample question bank, and more.
YORUM:This book is a fantastic text. I found that it was really helpful when reviewing for my System exams in medical school. There are some stellar diagrams in here, and the charts really are organized in a neat and methodical way. I found that while First Aid is great for board review, it was far too simplistic for my school system exams. This text has a little bit more details organized in a cleaner fashion.
That being said, for the purposes of preparing for the boards, there really is no single book that covers it all (even the almighty First Aid is woefully deficient in anatomy and biochemistry). You are going to need to form a core compendium books for preparation for that beastly exam. I wound up using the following.
Step Up to the USMLE Step 1
First Aid
Goljan Pathology
BRS Physiology
You will need to supplement those with Pharm/Microbio flashcards and take tons of questions. That being said, Step Up is a really great book and I think it wonderful to use in conjunction with your medical school exams (if your school is systems based)
