Essentials

In medicine, time is always limited. In the USMLE Step 1 examination, students have roughly 70 seconds to answer each question-when on clinical rotations, attending physicians expect immediate answers without hesitation. Using Essentials: Renal, Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Systems, students can gain a complete understanding of the physiology, pathology, and pharmacology of each system with the proficiency required to rapidly answer even the most difficult questions.

Within this book students will find a learning method designed to test immediate recall through a series of questions ranging from simple to complex. This book serves as both a solitary source of review, as well as a complementary source to any reference text.

• A time tested method for making the most out of time spent reviewing.
