"I would recommend this book to those preparing for USMLE Step 1. The chapters are inclusive with useful color pictures and charts. The many sidebars that include clinical correlates and mnemonics further help with retaining information. I would also recommend this book as an adjunct for those in the first and second year of medical school. It can help students focus on those aspects of the curriculum that are most important, both for Step 1 and during the clinical years as well."-- Doody's From the authors of First Aid for the® USMLE Step 1 comes this comprehensive summary of essential basic science general principles covered in the first two years of medical school. It provides the background you need before reviewing for the board and distills important coourse material down to easily understood parts. Features:

This thing is a great book; good organization, nice charts. Everything is great EXCEPT THE ERRORS. I would not buy this until the next edition Rating: - Not bad for a follow along with first year materialThe book is easy on the eyes and would best be used along with your first year material if you have to time to do so.

Rating: - excellent bookThis book and First aid organ systems really help me for step 1. You don't need any other books, such as Kaplan, high yield, BRS. These two books have everything you need to know for step 1. Know them in and out! Rating:  - Wait for the next editionThe concept behind this book (and its counterpart Basic Sciences: Organ Systems) is excellent as an alternative to the $400 Kaplan home study set. The depth to which the information is presented is quite appropriate as a review for the USMLE Step 1 and to supplement coursework in both first and second year of medical school. Unfortunately, it seems as if both this book and the Organ Systems book were rushed to the publisher without so much as a single proofread and revision. The errors in these ... Read More
