Excellent review of the basics
Reviewed in the United States on 26 April 2009Verified Purchase
I should first clarify that I read this book for personal interest, not as a medical student, so I'm not really part of the target audience.
I was attracted to the book because of the "high-yield" part of the title. I was seeking a book which very concisely and clearly lays out the key ideas of biostatistics, without getting bogged down by overexplanation or esoteric details, and I wasn't disappointed.
Just beware of two limitations inherent in a book like this. First, since this is a concise review book, you need to have a basic comfort level with math in order to learn from it. Second, the focus is on the basics, so the book doesn't cover all of the statistics you'll encounter when reading biomedical literature.
However, within the scope of these limitations, this is certainly an excellent book which I can recommend.

Get a wrong book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2017Verified Purchase
I booked this book when I was in the UK last year. After I left for China, it came to the school in the UK. My friend took it to China these days and post it to me. When I receive that, I find it's the book "High-Yield Immunology" which is not I booked. I have no plan to go back to the UK and I can't change it. The book is not expensive but I am very disappointed.

Great for med school biostats
Reviewed in the United States on 19 March 2013Verified Purchase
I used this to cram for my biostatistics class as an MS1, and the material is very well explained and gives nice questions at the end of each section. I am glad that I read this, and I didn't take any formal statistics class in college other than the crash course statistics in my upper division science classes. Great read and I will see how well I am prepared for the USMLE once I take it next year~

Amazing resource for Step 1
Reviewed in the United States on 18 May 2009Verified Purchase
Excellent and concise Step 1 review of biostatistics. The questions at the end are excellent indicators in measuring your grasp of the information. It is a book that you can hit hard for a day or two of Step 1 studying and feel confident that you know your stuff well. Thumbs up to Dr. Glaser. Keep up the good work!
