Editorial Reviews

Review

The different features throughout each case (thought questions, charts, discussion, thumbnails) allow for people with different learning styles to pick which way they would prefer to learn. -- 3rd year medical student, University of Nevada School of Medicine These are very complete presentations, looking at the physiology, the science of, and a more clinical approach as well. What I like about the cases is that they combine different aspects of diseases students are responsible for on the boards. ... Some of these are absolutely fabulous in terms of completeness, depth, and explanations. -- 3rd year medical student, Medical College of Virginia The thumbnails provide high yield information that is useful tool. They can be used as a final review before an exam -- 3rd year medical student, Drexel University College of Medicine I think the content of the cases is very good and is appropriate to the content that will be tested on the exam. In addition, each case introduces the other possible diagnoses and diseases so students definitely get a thorough overview of the case. I thought the cases were really well written and comprehensive, thoroughly covering the disease from many aspects such as pathology, physiology, histology etc. ... Ideally, the student would buy this book at the beginning of the year and read it as he progresses through the year. -- 3rd year medical student, SUNY Downstate The cases ... allow for an in-depth analysis of the material that is covered on Step I. The explanations are great and the cases require analytical skill and are presented as they are on the boards. I liked having questions at the end of each case to "test my knowledge" -- 3rd year medical student, Nova Southeastern University
