The various pedagogical features in the book (thumbnails, science reviews, Q As) are excellent learning points in this book. A learning model for the Step 1 should include opportunities for students to think on their own and problem solve, with clear, concise explanations provided for a quick, easy way to review their knowledge base. -- 3rd year medical student, Brown Medical School People often get question books, review books, and case/vignette books all separately. this book is great because it has them all in one. ...I would rate this books as one of the best I have used . -- 3rd year medical student, University of California, Irvine This book would provide a great reference because of its detailed explanations and science review. Furthermore, it also incorporates clinical cases thus illustrating the disease more clearly. This is the only book I am aware of that provides both these aspects. The thumbnails at the end of each case are extremely beneficial. They provide a quick resource that students can look at immediately prior to taking the boards. -- 3rd year student, Western University of the Health Sciences I think that this review book is better than the majority of books that are available on the market. I feel that the length and detail in the cases are appropriate for teaching and also mimic some of the case-based learning experiences that occur during the first to years of medical school. -- 3rd year student, State University of New York at Stony Brook School of Medicine I really like the questions at the end. They are thought provoking and force the student to think beyond the scope of what was reviewed in the text. -- 3rd year medical student, Medical College of Virginia The text is very readable and friendly, making it an easy read at the end of the day and ... easier to remember material. -- 3rd year medical student, McGill University
