Blueprints in Obstetrics & Gynecology [Paperback]

Book Description

Publication Date: January 15, 1998 | ISBN-10: 0865425051 | ISBN-13: 978-0865425057

The Blueprints Series has been developed to enable the reader to review the core material in each discipline quickly and efficiently. The topics for each subject were chosen from an analysis of over 2000 representative review questions from the USMLE Steps 2 & 3. The book is not meant to be comprehensive, but rather a composition of the "high-yield" topics that consistently appear on these exams. The material in these books is presented either as a workup of a symptom or as a discussion of a particular disease or pathological process. This format has been chosen to compliment the style of questions on the USMLE Steps 2 & 3 which are now crafted into clinical vignettes. This unique series of books will be equally as useful to all medical students during their clerkships and sub-internships.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best review to prepare for USMLE Step 2, March 31, 2000

This review is from: Blueprints in Obstetrics & Gynecology (Paperback)

This is a "must buy" book for the preparation of USMLE. Since OB/Gyn section in the "First Aid for Step 2" is weak, I have tried multiple review books, but this one is the BEST for USMLE. Although some topics are not described in detail enough (e.g. PCO, pelvic anatomy, etc), most of the high yield topics are very well covered, with lots of nice pictures. Doing many tests with this book aside will help you get a high score on OB/Gyn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for third-year medical students., December 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Blueprints in Obstetrics & Gynecology (Paperback)

This book gives a great overview of OB/GYN. It is helpful for the NBME shelf copies. Not very in-depth, desgined more for review as opposed to reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Making a background on OB/GY, so easy..., June 19, 2000

This review is from: Blueprints in Obstetrics & Gynecology (Paperback)

Very nice review to make a sufficient background.Surprisingly,more details than I've thought.Worth of spending time & money.You can get most of essential details of textbooks without to be bored.With a bit more detail and format quality,it can teach "how an OB/GY notion can be given so easy" to most of editors.It doesn't need any more...
