5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for USMLE Step 1, April 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Integrated Basic Sciences: PreTest Self-Assessment and Review (Paperback)

This was a great book. I got it during second year of medical school. It has a lot of good cases and with Step 1 becoming case based, this was very useful. There are quesions and explanations after each case. I highly recommend it if you like to study by a case based method or if you are preparing for the boards Step I and/or II.

3.0 out of 5 stars Question sets by organ system, June 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Integrated Basic Sciences: PreTest Self-Assessment and Review (Paperback)

This is a good book to review for the Step 1 of the USMLE. It is divided into 8 Organ system sections and each subsection consists of clinical scenarios describing a common disease that affects the specific organ system followed by 3 questions regarding the anatomy/physiology/normal processes involved plus one question about the pathophysiology. The explanations are OK. This books would be excellent if they had included at least 6 questions per case and if the explanations section had some diagrams.
