A Good First Look,
By Brandon Bourgeous, M.D. (Peoria, Il) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Obstetrics and Gynecology (Paperback)
This was the recomended text for my Ob/Gyn clerkship in medical school. It was pretty comprehensive yet chapters were short enough that a busy student can manage two or three per call night. It was good preparation for our exam, which at the University of Iowa, was the S.H.E.L.F. exam. This text tackles topics from hydatidiform mole and vestibulitis to hypertension and depression. The scope of this book encompasses not only all subspecialties in Ob/Gyn but also primary care, ethics and anatomy. Because of the nonintimidating conciseness of the many chapters in this book, I was able to overlook the initial lack of interest in OB/Gyn that I took with me the first day of that rotation. I was also able to excel on this clerkship. I still refer to this text on occasion, even as a second year Ob/Gyn resident. Third year medical students would be doing themselves a favor by checking out this easily afforded text. Not only is it an excellent resource, study guide and starter book for me, it changed my life.

Junior OBGYN student,
By Cosmin Dobrescu (Northwestern University) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Obstetrics and Gynecology (Paperback)
Please do NOT buy this book. Unfortunately, it _still is_ the recommended text for our school's OBGYN rotation, like most schools...but that's b/c the ACOG recommends recommends it...I used it anyway - and it's poorly written, contains about only 1/2 (the really cursory, simple 1/2) of what you will be asked, is woefully short on many OB subjects, and very old on gyn-onc Tx and procedures. It _is_ readable in a 6 wk rotation - but most students will buy this in the 2nd year to go with their pre-clinical courses - to which it is not at ALL suited. The only good point is that it has some 1500 multiple-guess questions in the back which are usefull for step 2... but it doesn't make it worth it, since you can buy the PreTest book, which is much better for exam prep. I would recommend the Lange Basic OBGYN book by Cunningham instead. I'm not even going into OB - but I got ALOT more out of that book than out of the Beckmann text - which I have grown to despise after seeing the other books available. I can't believe so many students are encouraged to waste their money - and worse, their time - on this thing...
