Editorial Reviews

Review

Here's what students are saying about Blueprints Notes & Cases - Pharmacology "I believe that these cases hit the high points of each drug class and many of the minute, "board-favorite" type details were covered well within the case and/or discussion following each case presentation." "I felt like some of the questions mirrored exactly what was on Step 1. It was Step 1 revisited for me." "The format was excellent. Reading a case presentation first allows the reader to actually feel like the information they learn within the text will be useful in real life medical situations/patients." Arne Olsen, Class of 2004, Medical College of Wisconsin The complexity of information presented is right on track with my experience with Step 1 of the USMLE. 'I think that it has everything that I would look for in a review book, especially the tables and the questions.' Evelyn R. Vento, Class of 2004, State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences There have been several Pharmacology books that I have used during my classes and in preparation for the boards and none of them presented as much background detail as this one. Thank you! There were so many questions that were answered for me, that had been a mystery before reviewing this book. Everything ties in nicely together: the case is presented, thought questions are given, and these thought questions are then answered very well in the basic science review. All of this is clinically relevant to the case.... The charts, thumbnails, and key points also tie in with the above and are done very well. Andrew Cohen, Class of 2004, New York College of Osteopathic Medicine The thumbnail charts were well-organized and presented information usually in a concise format. This can be used days before the test to simply review the different classes of pharmaceuticals, or as a substitute for reading the entire case for someone pressed for time.Minisha Kochar, Class of 2004, Temple University School of Medicine
