Description
Not your typical USMLE review book! Imagine this… You’re 1 week away from the big exam, you’ve crammed your brain with information overload and read every vignette under the sun. If you read another novel-like vignette you’ll miss out on an exhaustive review of the most essential diagnoses, patient managements and prioritizations. What to study next? Panic sets in! Don’t worry, USMLE Step 3 Made Ridiculously Simple has you covered.
Written in chart format, USMLE Step 3 MRS categorically arranges the most “high-yield” diagnoses, diagnostic tests and patient management facts, in addition to a brief overview about preventive medicine, cancer screening, immunization schedules, “ethical dilemmas” and risk factor algorithms to make it very easy to review all USMLE Step 3 subjects just days before the exam! The arrangement of medical diagnoses and patient managements in these charts are carefully presented in “step-by-step” flow charts. Beginning with a symptom or sign, diagnostic tests presented at the top of each chart are least invasive and give highest yield. As you work your way from top to bottom, proceed to the next test if the results from the previous were negative. The chart format provides maximum amount of information with the minimum amount of words by concentrating on key associations to help you improve your performance in the “decision making process.” Studying in such a systematic fashion lets you avoid the “high-yield trap” of what to study the week or two before the test.
You’ve done all the hard studying for the exam; now let USMLE Step 3 Made Ridiculously Simple give you the confidence to tie it all together as your “last-minute memory aid” for the big day!
