Our Review

This is a very resident friendly nook.  I list it a a first year because so much of what is in here is on the step 1 exam.  Once you buy this book you will use it in year 2,3, and 4.  There is a tremendous amount of information packed into this little book.  I wish I had it my first year.

So for you first years this book is a great resource to review basix concepts, for those in the wards you will pick up alot of good info out of this.

 

On a scale of 1-10. 10 being the best…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….10
