Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Better than Swansons
I initially purchased Swansons to study with but quickly decided I hated it. There are soooo many typos and it doesn't provide very detailed explanations. Some friends were editing First Aid and I decided to give it a try. It's in the usual First Aid format, which I was used to. Provided good explanations and I don't think I encountered anything on the exam that I hadn't read in the book. My study plan including reading First Aid front to back and doing as many of the practice questions on the AAFP ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointed
I was disappointed after buying this review book for my Kindle and finding that you can't select the section you want to read from the table of contents and jump right to it. You have to scroll through page after page in order to get to the section you desire. Don't know if this can be fixed, but would be a huge improvement to the use of the book on the Kindle.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for quick review
This book is great for clinical rotations. It's reasonably portable. The sections are easy to navigate so you can find the snippet of information that you need. I like the memory tips too.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Too lengthy
It's kind of good for review if someone has time but I think it's as not as good as the other First Aids. I like the Mnemonics to help jog my memory.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good summary but a bit pricey
Pretty good summary and add on resource for standard family medicine texts and question banks. The only downside is the price, which I think is a bit inflated because of the "first aid" name that everyone at the stage of requring board cert reviews is very comfortable with.
