5.0 out of 5 stars All killer no filler, September 27, 2005

This review is from: High-Yield Gross Anatomy (The Science of Review) (Paperback)

This is great for Step I. First Aid, which is overall an outstanding review, is weak on anatomy and neuro; this book fills in the gaps. Some like to say anatomy is a low yield subject on Step, and it is, but I got about 14-20 anatomy questions on mine. In the newest edition, the author does an even better job of putting some more typical clinical scenarios. You don't have to know every innervation and muscle, but you should know some of the bigger ones (like muscles of the quads) and commonly injured anatomical structures and their clinical presentation. This book accomplishes the above.

As far as using this for course work, it's probably not enough. But if you don't know something in High Yield prior to an exam, it would be good to fill in the gaps.

My only qualm with this text is the high price for the amount of material; I borrowed it from a friend for a couple of days and took notes.

5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable anatomy review book!, July 4, 1999

By	"smithj" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This book is perfect for USMLE review. Dr. Dudek cuts through all of the fluff (and in gross anatomy, there is a LOT of fluff!), and focuses in on commonly tested concepts. I also recommend his high-yield embryology book for board review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good USMLE review book, March 28, 2001

By	Umber76 (Brookline, MA, USA) - See all my reviews

This book is not sufficient for course study, but is a very good choice for Step 1 preparation. Anatomy is a fairly low yield topic on the Step 1 exam and this is a good, concise review of clinically relevant anatomy.
