Crush step 1 definitely deserves to be there. :)

FA is hands down the best

By far the First Aid is the best book for step 1
hey thanks for the information, fortunately i have got the books that are recommended!
UFAP method has done me wonders (Uworld + First aid + pathoma)
"Dermatology for the USMLE" should be added

High quality dermatology pictures coming out of May Clinic. Interdisciplinary review book that teaches you dermatology and Internal Medicine.

Great tool for Step 1,2 and 3. Hoping more like this come out soon! Awesome read and helped me bumped my score!

I highly recommend it. Check it out for yourself.

Dermatology for the USMLE by Alvaro J. Ramos (hope you can find it online...it wont let me post the link..trying to spread the good news).

Good luck and good vibes to all!
