High yield pathology review 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is an excellent review for both a pathology course and for studying for USMLE Step I. Its main weakness is that it doesn't include very many images, so you need an atlas of some sort as a companion. I used an image bank my school provided and this book alone to study for pathology on Step I, and I did extremely well.

Editorial Review:

BRS Pathology, one of the flagship titles in the best-selling Board Review Series, is the best pathology review resource available for the USMLE Step 1 exam. The concise and well-organized text helps students identify major pathological concepts deserving special emphasis. The book's more than 450 USMLE-style review questions appear as chapter reviews and an end-of-book comprehensive exam. All questions include answers and full explanation sections for students' easy use and review. The Fourth Edition features full-color text and 75 additional full-color photographs to guide students to visual mastery of pathologic diagnosis. A companion Website provides the fully searchable text and all the questions in the text through an interactive question bank.

Excellent review book!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

So far this book has been an excellent review book for step 2!! It's also a great quick reference for medicine wards/clinics. It doesn't have all the details, but definitely has everything you need to jog your memory (or a good jumping point to go look at a more detailed book). It's very easy to read and the pictures really help solidify points.

makes me smarter 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

highly recommended for undergrad and medical students... good overview of pathology to put the details into a big pictures.

Editorial Review:

Provides a conceptual overview of pathophysiology and mechanisms of disease, designed to ease the transition from the basic sciences to the clinical years. Should be particularly useful in the transition from the second to the third year of medical school, but should also be very helpful to nurses and other health care professionals. Shows the clinical relevance of the basic sciences through overall principles and understanding. Accompanied by a CD on Differential Diagnosis, showing the interpretation of common lab tests and patient symptoms and signs.

concise and well organized 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Baby robbins is really concise nd well organized. I like to read it first, and read it along with Big Robbins - ie. look at Big Robbins for pics or for clarification.

It doesn't give you the background though for the underlying cause and mechanism of some diseases, so you need to read that in Big Robbins.

A Must Have 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I have the original textbook but when I'm at the hospital, I need something to carry around in my pocket 'tis it's a "Pocket Companion" It gives you quick, ready to use, summary with the most important details. However I must say I found the price a little exaggerated. Must recommend finding a low price but a clean used 2nd hand.

I began learning Pathology in Ruth Werner's 1st edition book in massage therapy school. I just attended her continuing education class in Louisiana and can truly say that this woman is remarkable. I immediately came home and ordered this 4th edition book. Wow, has it grown. The book is everything I expected and needed. The information is so clear and easy to understand and would be very helpful to anyone who has a interest in pathology.
