4.0 out of 5 stars Not 100% complete for class review, August 2, 2005

These cards are well organized and present the material in a clear and consice manner. The case presentations are very helpful as well.

My professor teaches pathology from Robbins, 7th Ed. As many Path students know, the book is extremely thorough and covers a huge number diseases. The cards do not cover the same number of diseases. I found myself still making my own cards because my professor will ask questions from all the diseases covered.

I found that the cards are great for review with BRS or Rapid Review style book. In this situation the diseases reviewed are very similar. I look forward to using the cards more during my review for Step 1.

I would recommend this product to others however if you are a 2nd year student it may not take the place of making your own cards, but it will reduce the number. If you are reviewing for Step 1 I think that they would be great.

I was skeptical about these cards at first. They're literally printed on paper (not notecards), and they're packed with way too much information for quick flashcard review. However, they were indispensable during 2nd year. Granted, they don't cover all of the diseases in Robbin's, but I rather preferred it that way; diseases they didn't cover, I figured were low yield, and this served me fairly well. There is a clinical vignette on one side, and then the disease name and description on the other with important information in bold. I used my pharmcards and microcards sporadically, but these were a mainstay.

These cards are fantastic and are definitely perfect for medical students in the second year or those who are preparing for USMLE Step 1. All major topics are covered efficiently but with a good level of detail. The Organizational outline card before each organ-system block was an especially nice touch. Overall, these are a great resource, and I would highly recommend them.
