It's what you need to know to pass exams, boards and the like. It provides clear instruction on the essentials of descriptive and inferential statistics, hypothesis testing, correlational techniques, research methods, and statistics in epidemiology. For those who struggle with beginning and intermediate statistics classes, it's a jewel. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Board Specific, June 15, 2004 By  Joseph H. Hastie (Monroeville, Alabama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This review is from: High-Yield Biostatistics (High-Yield Series) (Paperback) I first encountered this book when it was called "Biostatistics for the Boards" when I took the course from Dr. Glaser when he was teaching at the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine in 1990. Dr. Glaser was an exceptionally good and popular teacher and the book reflects his "no-nonsense" style. At first I thought it was a "dumbed down" statistics book as I had taken a full year of stats in college and my previous books had been huge and heavy textbooks. However, I soon found that the reason Dr. Glaser's book was so brief was that he concentrates only on the type of concepts and questions you will find on the USMLE step 1. The chapters are short and it is easy to review each one many times to firmly plant the info into long term memory. I had no problems at all with the stats on the USMLE. This book presents exactly what you need to answer all the questions on the USMLE without having you waste a lot of time studying things you will never use. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars The best source for USMLE, December 13, 2003 By  Rodney Eddi "Internal Medicine Doctor" (West Paterson, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This review is from: High-Yield Biostatistics (High-Yield Series) (Paperback) Are you one of those people that are scared of Biostatistics?
