Cracking the Boards: USMLE Step 1Cracking the USMLE Step 1, 2nd Edition is an updated and thorough course review of all of the material on the Step 1 exam. Instead of the difficult to navigate continuous text typical of medical school review books, TPR's Cracking the USMLE is organized more like an outline, with bolded terms for easy reference, as well as hundreds of illustrations, charts, and diagrams. The book alerts students to the key concepts that will likely be applied in the more than one section of the exam. For example, after explaining the various segments of an electrocardiogram, the authors urge the reader to "Know these cold -- they are high yield material!" The topics are broken down and organized into the following sections: |
