This book was originally written by third-year medical students searching for the perfect review book-not finding it on the market, they wrote it themselves! Now in its third edition, "Step-Up to Medicine" boils down the full scope of tested pathology in a single ingenious tool. Each element is tailored for immediate content absorption, and an all-new, full-color interior differentiate elements for even faster, more efficient review. And, "Step-Up to Medicine, third edition" provides two types of self-assessment - the kinds of questions you will ask yourself as a clinician plus USMLE-style practice questions. This review book gives you just the Step-Up to the medicine clerkship, accompanying shelf exams, and USMLE Step 2 that you need!
