We all know how detailed histology is and this book allows you to focus on all the key points when reviewing for the USMLE, class exams, and miniboards, as well. Many classmates and graduates of my medical school used this book for preparing for exams and USMLE. Great resource! Highly recommended!

3.0 out of 5 stars not so hot, March 16, 2005

This review is from: High-Yield Histology (Paperback)

this book is missing alot of information, especially if you are trying to use it for a course review. Some examples: no parotid, no tounge, no esophagus, no pineal, no tonsils. Also the figure captions are hard to read and the quality of the figures is only so so. All in all, not the greatest histology review book.

This review is from: High-Yield Histology (Paperback)

This is not a typical histology book...in the sense that it contains, pharmacology, pathology, physiology and anatomy and very little histology and histopathology. The book is extremely HIGH YIELD for usmle but not for a class in histology. It covers topics ranging molecular biology of signal transduction to the coagulation cascade. First year medical students will not recognize much of the info in this book and think it is "fluff"....it is one of the best kept secrets to scoring high in the USMLE, since many of the questions aren't exactly pathology or physiology stand alone questions, rather they are a mixture and a blend of many subjects. This book does that for you, it integrates many..many concepts. Its a great buy for 2nd years.
