Summary: Dr.Claudio A.G.Monteiro Filho
Review: This is so funny I bought a copy of the FA book 2003 and looking at it and comparing it to the 2002 version I saw that all the mistakes where corrected...
I had the 2002 version, which was fraught with mistakes...?
As there were many mistakes on the 2002 version of the book in the different subjects areas.
At least the ones that I had come across while attempting to read it...
Now the question is:
How come step1 had
Some mistakes Like that?
I mean being so popular and all...
What a shame...
It had mistakes in Path; biochemistry and so forth and so on...
Thanks God that the 2003 edition of the book which has so many of these necessary corrections; that drove me crazy thinking that they were meant to be at one time or another...
It was driving me paranoid...lol
which was fraught with mistakes...?
I had never seen a First Aid edition book
with so many mistakes as the 2002 version had...
Thx for your time.

Summary: Best Book for the International Medical Graduate
Review: This is the best place to start for the international medical graduate. I had no idea what the USMLE entailed and this book guides you through the daunting task of studying for Step One. The book is basically broken up into 3 parts. The first deals with format of the exam, the way questions are asked and basically all the stuff you're dying to know but no one can tell you. The second part is high-yield material which is likely to be tested. The third part is rating of other books you can use for review.

All in all, an excellent book

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: God's gift to USMLE step 1 takers
Review: This is the Bible for USMLE step 1 study, a complete starter's kit. It's broken up into three basic sections, all very useful, with information that cannot be found anywhere else.

The first section is a description of what the test is like, what to expect about things like scoring and in case you think you failed, and also strategies for studying. (A note of disagreement: their recommendation for studying requires a much longer time commitment than most medical students can or are willing to give, e.g., two entire months devoted solely to USMLE preparation.)

The second section is a list of high yield facts in each subject area. Some students say that the exam can be passed comfortably just having memorized this section. Of course, it would be unwise to test that hypothesis, but my personal experience vindicates it: just about all of the answers to the questions I missed on the USMLE practice test CD-ROM could be found in this section of the exam. My only complaint about this section is that the links to the Underground Clinical Vignettes series (UCV) were spotty (sometimes there are no links listed for diseases that are discussed in UCV) and sometimes wrong (they refer to the wrong case), and that these links, being of lower yield value than everything else in this book, smacked of a marketing ploy to encourage purchasing the UCV series, which happens to be authored by the same person.

The final section is a listing and review of all the major review books currently available. The review is based on student response and is generally quite accurate and very useful (including even ISBN numbers, a godsend for those who shop online), not showing any signs of proprietary bias.

All other review books, if possible, should be borrowed or purchased used, but this book is updated every year and its purchase is a required investment for everyone taking the step 1 exam, so that it can be underlined, scribbled on, and read over and over again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Probably the best review for Step 1.
Review: This is the most complete review book that I have come across. Granted, it doesn't cover the depth of information that the others do, but it is a good review of the most important topics. It is also helpful immensely for test reviews during the basic sciences portion of med. school.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best book in medical school
Review: This is the one book in medical school I would not do without. Get it before you start basic sciences, use it for all your courses, and cram for the USMLE Step 1 with it. The physicians and editors at medicalstudent.net recommend it without reservation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wer hat den Längsten (und zwar den wirklich allerlängsten)?
Review: V. Bushan hat den Längsten

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent for Second Year Med Students.
Review: We at The BookMarc highly recommend this book to help you organize and focus your studying during the second year of medical school. Get it early.

Rating: 0 stars
Summary: The 98 ed is fully updated with new diagrams, and vignettes.
