Review

Doody's Book Review Service, Bruce A. Fenderson, PhD, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA --

"This book provides a study guide for students taking cell biology/histology courses and serves as an excellent review for medical licensing examinations. The 21 chapters cover topics ranging from cytoplasm and organelles to urinary system in an abbreviated outline format. Clinical correlations and practice questions with explanations are included in each chapter....The book is written primarily for first and second-year medical students who are learning microscopic anatomy/cell biology and preparing for the USMLE Step 1....

"A comprehensive examination is included at the end of the book. This updated edition offers online access to numerous full-color illustrations and tables, including new online photomicrographs. Bonus questions and color images are also provided online. The authors are outstanding medical educators and researchers.

"This review book provides an excellent study guide for histology and cell biology. The illustrations and tables are helpful and informative. The authors emphasize key words and organize key concepts. The clinical considerations are excellent and help advanced students integrate information learned in pathology....This book will capture the attention of medical students and allied health professionals interested in self-assessment and a formatted approach to board review."—Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 90, 4 Stars)

Galvis (Irvine, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This review is from: BRS Cell Biology and Histology (Board Review Series) (Paperback) If you are a starting MS1 this is a good book to use for class as it has alot of good detail condensed in an outline format. It comes with a CD that has been quite helpful. However, when it comes to the Boards is just too big of a book for a subject that is not high yield- think about it- this book is just as big as BRS Path. Do you really have that much time to read a low yield subject? No. So instead for Histo- I recommend using a smaller book to review for the boards: I recommed Road Maps: Histo as opposed to High Yield Histo. 11 of 14 people found the following review helpful: 3.0 out of 5 stars A good board review book for histo/cell bio, May 20, 2000 By A Customer This review is from: Cell Biology and Histology (Paperback) I felt that this was a good book to use for board review purposes. The outline format, like all the BRS books, is easy to follow and makes it easy to look up info. The end of chapter questions are the best part by allowing you to see if you really understood what you just read. It does not have the number and quality of pictures that a good atlas would have but it is a good book to use to supplement a histo atlas. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Kaplan's review for Histology., June 28, 2008 By  gooseberry (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: BRS Cell Biology and Histology (Board Review Series) (Paperback) A must have.
