This review is from: Kaplan Medical USMLE Medical Ethics: The 100 Cases You are Most Likely to See on the Test (Kaplan USMLE) (Paperback)

Dr. Fischer has done it again. In his clear and easy to read format, he covers most of the ethic topics asked on the usmle. Useful for all three steps, it includes lots of questions at the end, with detailed explanations. It's not cheap but it's about all you'll need on the subject.

This review is from: Kaplan Medical USMLE Medical Ethics: The 100 Cases You are Most Likely to See on the Test (Kaplan USMLE) (Paperback)

Hi everyone
I started preparing for step 3 around a month back and was doing with USMLE WORLD.I was not scoring well and was lacking in ETHICS.Then one of my online study partner suggested me to go with ETHICS BY DR.CONRAD FISCHER.The book is awsome and it has everything which USMLE step 3 gonna ask you on your step 3.No question will be asked outside the content of this book by you have to go though it around 3 times in total and solve MCQs at the back.After doing that my scores on ethics questions improved a lot.
Dr. Fischer has discussed each and every topic on ethics in a very simple and communicative manner that you would enjoy reading the stuff.And guys its well said that when you enjoy doing something ,the tedious of work is not difficult rather becomes a child's play for anyone.
So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and order this book right away !!!
If you have any questions just give me an email on anujbhatnagar06 at the rate of yahoo dot co dot in
