Editorial Reviews

Review

, Joshua Lynch, Third-Year Medical Student, LECOM-Bradenton, Florida -- "The book overall was amazing. It is the only book I am aware of that incorporates osteopathic principles and anatomy into a user friendly review book! There is one other Osteopathic review book that I know of by Robert Savarese, DO but it doesn't include as much anatomy as this does."-Joshua Lynch, Third-Year Medical Student, LECOM-Bradenton, Florida

I was bit skeptical when I borrowed this book from our school library- it seems it was written by two students. But after reading the first 2 chapters, I immediately bought my own copy. The beautiful thing about this book is that it finally correlates anatomy with OMM- so it actual covers those "in between" questions that the other review books fail to discuss. The pictures are EXCELLENT! They actually help to make sense of some of the more difficult concepts. I'll let you know how my Step II exam goes- but I would have loved to have this book around when taking Step I as well. Also, the beginning of the book has a little chart that tells you what chapters to read for each COMLEX exam- takes the guess work out of studying. I am definitely doing better on my practice exams- wish me luck for the real deal.

When studying for the COMLEX, osteopathic medical students have always been short on finding alternatives. COMLEX Review finally fills the void for high-yield, easy to read and understand review books for the osteopathic manipulative medicine portions of the osteopathic boards.

This review is from: COMLEX Review: Clinical Anatomy and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (Board Review Series) (Paperback)

I wish I had this book to use during levels 1 & 2... trust me, it is definitely excellent for level 3. The last time I seriously looked at any OMM was during my 3rd year at Des Moine, and let me tell you, now near the end of my intern year, not only did this book refresh all the OMM I had forgotten, but it explained stuff better than I ever understood it. Nobody wants to spend too much time on OMM, but it is quick and easy read - great to fill in the spaces when you don't feel like studying and want to read something "light".
