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!

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 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.

If you use First Aid for the the USMLE Step 1, you probably will not use this book. There is a lot of "low yield" information disperese throughout and it may not save you much time to filter through all of it to make it worth while. If you insist, read through it fast and note the clinically significant items in boldface.

This was a disappointment because it was a 1997 version. I will not buy from this vendor again. This was not in the advertisement.

Stick to the histology Road Maps. Most of the High Yield Series is good except this one. The pictures and explanations leave too much room for wanting something else.

I used this book and the following which is also on amazon: Histology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers
The first book is written in an easy style to make histology much easier to absorb for medical histology. I found this book to be righton for the topics I needed to know for my medical histology test. I also like how the material was presented; it was reader friendly and a very thorough review. The second book that I used for my medical histology class called: Histology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi was so on target with the type of questions asked on my histology exams. I highly recommend these two books to any medical histology students. I also wish I used these books when I took histology in undergrad. Anyway, I have brothers and sisters who have used these two books in other medical school histology classes and they got A's . Both books are must buys.

u can read it in a day or two. and revise it easily. it contains imp topics although some chapters r mixture of physiology and patho. helped me to answer histo questions on exam.
