5.0 out of 5 stars the chapter in the book followed along with the course nicely and was a thorough and concise read

This definitely was a big help during my most recent module in medical school. Surprisingly, the chapter in the book followed along with the course nicely and was a thorough and concise read. I read this to supplement along with the power points that were provided to our class and took notes in the margins of the book so that they will be there when I come back to review for Step I. Definitely a great purchase!

This is one of the best books I purchased online, it is written very clearly and has lots of pictures and colourful diagrams. Sometimes it is a little repetitive but overall it is an excellent book.
