Editorial Reviews

Review

Here's what students are saying about Blueprints Notes & Cases - Microbiology and Immunology "If you can make Microbiology & Immunology fun and interesting to read as you have done in this book, I can only imagine what you have done with other more difficult subjects like pathology." "Had this book been available when I was a second year medical student I would have purchased it as the primary text for my microbiology course, and subsequent course examination preparation." "If the student is using your book for USMLE Step 1 or course examinations (including NBME shelf exams) they will be prepared for most any question that can be thrown their way." Jason Lane, Tulane University School of Medicine, Class of 2004 The thumbnail microbiology section is a nice, concise way to recap all of the most important information about the organism in discussion. It's very easy to find the information you need without having to read the section again. The cases are just the right length for Step 1 review. They give you all the information you need to know about the case but not too much that it is overwhelming. Kelly Duckett, Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, Class of 2004 I would highly recommend this book as a great resource for year 1 and 2. I wish I had this book when I was learning microbiology. It is concise with the right amount of detail and encourages the differential diagnosis thought process, which is critical to later success on the wards. I loved how after each case presentation, which in itself, is like a mini quiz, there were still a few multiple choice/self test questions at the end. It is a good way to reinforce new material. Amitha Harish, Albany Medical College, 2004 I loved the questions! They got me to think about the case and set the tone for the subsequent discussion. Puneet Gupta, U. Texas Southwestern Medical School at Dallas, 2004
