 - Good bang for the buckMy background: I am a licensed DO in CA who attended Western U. I scored well above average on my boards, and the B&W series was one of my main study guides for COMLEX I-III...memorize this book and you will pass, and probably do pretty well. However, if I had to do it all over again, I'd buy this book BEFORE the first day of med school/DO school and annotate within the book/keep stickies in the book every time some one said "this was on the boards last year" to make rapid review much faster. Trust me, with the volume of info we are expected to know in the medical profession, anything you can do to make studying for boards more efficient (Step I/COMLEX I esp.) in such an intense period of life will pay off. Do not use the B&W series for clinical rounds or residency; you will want much more detailed resources for actual patient management. This is for boards only. I recommend UpToDate PDA program for basic internal medicine/specialty information for all wards except pediatrics and surgery. Rating: - Excellent, compact reviewExcellent compact review of pathophysiology. Can be used on the wards or for step 1 review. Rating: - Great for quick review.Great book, only few words changed from 4th edition. Features more compact size which accounts for change in number of pages. All questions are identical as well. Nice color illustrations. Overall is quite similar to Dr. Goljan comprehensive notes, but much better organized. page 1 of 1
