 - Excellent for fast reviewThis book is a no nonsense review of path. Sure it lacks illustrations, but it's well organized and covers the high yield stuff for step I. Rating: - High yield pathology reviewThis is an excellent review for both a pathology course and for studying for USMLE Step I. Its main weakness is that it doesn't include very many images, so you need an atlas of some sort as a companion. I used an image bank my school provided and this book alone to study for pathology on Step I, and I did extremely well. Rating:  - Too poorI am reading Robbin's and Cotran:Pathologic basis of desease:it is too long and I spend too much time to prepare for Usmle 1,but BRS Pathology is too poor.This book needs to be doubled:so it will became enough for that examination and near you must add an atlas,a colour atlas,to see what the student is are studying.Excuse me for my poor english.By. Giampiero Gasparrini MD Rating:  - Great BRSThis BRS Pathology is a great tool to have. Tells with mild depth about each pathologic disease that is important to know about and worry oneself about. Rating: - Essential Review Book for HIGHScore on Step 1An upper classman of mine who scored very high on step 1 revealed to me that he read BRS Pathology many times over during his preparation for Step 1. My game plan was to emulate his study regimen so that I could also score high. In addition to Fist Aid, and some other review books, I read BRS pathology many many times over during my step 1 preparation. Rather than taking notes, I just sat in bed and read from cover to cover BRS Pathology over and over probably about 10-12 times before taking step 1. I felt a strong command of the material and ended up scoring a 241/97% which I largely attribute to this book. While the reviewer above points out that it is not comprehensive (some small points left out) and there is some redundancy, you will not find a better review for Step 1. page 1 of 1
