It is too basic and boring to read. I would def recommend Blueprints, which is far easier to read and more high yield for nbme exams

This review is from: Essentials of Obstetrics and Gynecology: Textbook with Downloadable PDA Software (Paperback)

This is a great book for those entering into OB/GYN residencies. It's not as expensive as the Gabbe & William's Obstetrics, and key fundemental topics are covered. I think the ob sections are slightly better than the gyn. However, it does have CROEG guidelines in it!
