Editorial Reviews

Review

"The book focuses on the illnesses and diseases that one is most likely to encounter when taking the boards. The cases give a higher level of detail and exam preparation that enables the student to maximize their performance, as well as maximizing the value of the text. A great resource." - Alexander Iribarne, Class of 2005, Harvard Medical School "One of the strengths of this book is good, sound information on very pertinent board subjects. It provides excellent and concrete details, including key 'buzzwords' and descriptions of them. Board Buster Clinical Cases provides a quick refresher and allows one to analyze details immediately and quickly. Using mechanisms of disease to teach, present, review and understand works well. This is the most accurate and sufficient way to review for the board exams." - Lincoln Likness, Class of 2005, Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences College of Osteopathic Medicine "Having one book to study for all the disciplines simulates the random style of the test and cuts down on the number of books to lug around. It's a great review, as well as quick, and unlike anything else on the market. Not only would I recommend this book to people studying for the test, I would also recommend it to anyone doing a medical rotation." - Rebecca Guinn, Class of 2005, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center "The content in the cases encompasses virtually all aspects of clinical medicine including internal medicine, surgery, ob/gyn, pediatrics, O/P medicine, psychiatry, neurology, dermatology, ophthalmology and radiology. The cases are accurate, complete, and up-to-date. There's nothing more that I could want added." - Pedro Toweh, Class of 2005, Wayne State University School of Medicine "I like that the cases make you think what the patient has and how you would direct your examination, as well as explaining the answers. Most Step 2 books are just the facts, and after a while you have to put away the facts and look at the patient. This book helps you do that." - Suzanne Crandall, Class of 2005, Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences College of Osteopathic Medicine "The major advantage of Board Buster Clinical Cases is that not only are clinical vignettes presented across the different medical specialties, but you also get multiple-choice questions on the case to test your knowledge. You not only problem solve with the cases, but you also learn as if you were reading a formal text." - Alexander Iribarne, Class of 2005, Harvard Medical School "The level of detail in each of the cases is perfect. The details on the mechanism of disease is an excellent way to help prepare and the best way to engrain the information into knowledge you won't be likely to forget." - Lincoln Likness, Class of 2005, Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences College of Osteopathic Medicine "Each case fits on one page and allows for lightning quick review of pertinent information. The presentation and questions simulates the type of thought process needed to score well on Step 2." -Rebecca Guinn, Class of 2005, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center "There are so many strengths to this book. I found that giving the explanation for why the distracter in each answer was wrong to be the most helpful. Board Buster Clinical Cases has an edge over many of the other review books out there in terms of the amount of cases covered, the detail of the cases, and the adequacy of the teaching comments." - Pedro Toweh, Class of 2005, Wayne State University School of Medicine "Most books didn't allow me to review between classes, surgery cases, or rounds and I ended up wasting a lot of money. I can carry this book with me and review during little bits of downtime. This is a book I would recommend to everyone." - Suzanne Crandall, Class of 2005, Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences College of Osteopathic Medicine

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, May 18, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Board Buster Clinical Cases: Steps 2 and 3 (Boards and Wards) (Paperback)
The questions do not follow the USMLE format.
Not a bad book; however, there are many better options at the same price.
