Editorial Review:

Product Description:
95% of Step 2 consists of clinical vignettes, and this exciting new review series presents a wealth of "guaranteed to be on the exam" clinical vignettes for Step 2 preparation to give the reader a clear-cut advantage. It is unique among case-based series in giving greater focus to high-yield information. The cases and accompanying images faithfully replicate the format of the case encounters presented in Step 2, and key points and important Step 2 "buzzwords" are highlighted for each case. The approach is simple and focused without leaving out any important information. Plus, the format gives readers the opportunity to guess the answer to the case before it is revealed and to postulate on which tests to order, what therapy to give and what to "watch out for" in the condition presented.

  • Concise vignettes, following the current vignette-based format of Step 2
  • Buzzwords highlighted for each case
  • "Interactive" format allows reader to guess answers, and then answers are revealed and explained
  • Written by the author of Crush The Boards and USMLE Step 2 Secrets




Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Quick and comprehensive
The cases format allows quick and segmental review of popular surgical and trauma presentations. High yield tips designed for Shelf and USMLE2 examinations are very useful.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Surgery made tolerable!?
Ok, Ok, so I'm going into psychiatry and don't like surgery and didn't do well in my rotation. This book got me ready for Surgery, Step 2 style, with as little pain as possible. Author has a way of explaining things that makes sense and all the high-yield stuff seems to be covered (at least, all of the surgery stuff that was on my exam). Highly recommend!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great way to review for boards!
I really enjoyed using this series to review for step 2. It kept me focused on the "big picture" and forced me to realize which subjects I did and didn't know, allowing to focus my limited study time on areas I was weak in. Well-written cases with great explanations. Definitely a 5-star review source.
