Hi
I am IMG and about to begin preparing for USMLE step1. I have plenty of time cause i am doing research (no clinical responsibilities). I checked library of our university and was disappointed to see only those huge textbooks which make me always very sleepy :sleepy:. So I have to try to find out review books which aren't too long or short. Now I am eager to hear some opinions about these books I am (or not) going to order from amazon.
Netter Clinical Anatomy (seems to be little long, but I liked Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy).
High Yield Embryology (our library has Langmans Embryology which I liked a lot, but could be too much considering the topic)
High Yield Neuroanatomy
Costanzo Physiology (not BRS series)
Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews Biochemistry (Rapid Review series biochemistry seems to be short, but do I really need this Lippincotts book, it has very good reviews in amazon.com)
Goljan's Rapid Review of pathology (with this and phys book I could say I am 100% certain that it is right decision)
Review of Medical Microbiology and Immunology (or is this ridiculously simple book better, well I was going to order both)
Katzung and Trevor's Pharm Examination and Board Review
And in addition I have planned to order some behavioral sciences and biostatistics books and of course FA. Do I need histology and molecular biology books as well?
Comment if you have anything to say about my choices. I've checked already those polls and I find that they were really helpful.
