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.

Not that good.,

This review is from: Blueprints in Surgery (Paperback)
I used many of the blueprints books during my clincal rotations in medical school. This one was by far the worst one. The information is more of a cursory overview of several topics. There is just not enough scope or detail in this book for it to be useful. I used this book in conjunction with "Surgical Recall" which is an excellent book. I also referred to the "Essential of General Surgery" book on some specific topics such as fluid and electrolyte management that are not well covered in either book.
Perhaps future editions of this book will be better.

High yield concise review for wards and Step 2,
By briw "briw" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blueprints in Surgery (Paperback)
I did particularly well on the surgical subcategory of Step 2, and it's owed to this book. Hands down, it's the best, highest-yield 3rd/4th year review for surgical disease - including epidemiology, symptoms, signs, diagnosis, and management. Awesome for review before the big test; also useful for overview of surgical diseases during your clerkship. One small complaint: it costs lots of dollars for about 100 pages.
