Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get this book!
Review: I WISH I had used this book DURING my embryology course in med school (instead of waiting to use it for just review)! It would have been very helpful for exams. Most of the other High Yield books work best when used as a supplement to a more detailed book (or as a review after you've learned the material), but this one is still pretty detailed itself, without being overwhelming. It is a great review of the essential things you need to know for the USMLE. Good pictures, great clinical correlations, and good layout. It is up-to-date as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Maybe overkill, but contains everything you need to know
Review: This book covers all the important info you need to know for Step 1. Its clinical scenarios are the gem of this book. It does however contain more than you need to know for this infrequently tested subject. But for any embryology book out there, this is the one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than the newer edition.
Review: This book is much more concise than the revised edition. For being a low-yield subject on the boards, I would not waste my time on the expanded, newer version. This one is more than adequate.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best of the "High-Yield" series
Review: This book is perfect for USMLE review! Dr. Dudek has very carefully chosen his words and diagrams in this concise review. It focuses on commonly tested concepts on the USMLE, especially with regard to congenital malformations. Highly recommended.

Summary: Only good for USMLE review.
Review: This book is too concise to study from for your medical course. It has no explanation of the facts or theories whatsoever. It is perfect once you've already learnt Embryology (from another book), and wish to simply review the facts. But if you are studying Embryology for the first time, consider: Moore & Persaud - Before We Are Born, Larsen - Human Embryology, and Sadler - Larsen's Medical Embryology.

Personally this is one book I would not want on my bookshelf, because I do not believe in buying books simply for review. I want a reference, something I can go back to when I need to check something.

Summary: Good review book
Review: This is not a great primary text for embryology.It is however, a good review book especially for a subject like embryo., when one doesnt know what to expect and how much time should be given.It misses a few essential explanations (especially in the topics dealing with development of face ) and illustrates only the important points.I would recommend you to read a primary text and then use this book
