Advanced Life Support for the Usmle Step 2

by Matt Flynn

Written by medical students who recently passed the Board exams, Advanced Life Support for the USMLE Step 2 is a user-friendly guide to the most efficient study for the USMLE Step 2. The authors have honed in on the highest yield study material--the most heavily tested topics that students should focus their efforts on to earn the most points. Emphasis is on subjects that carry great weight on the exam, but that students would not know they should study, such as medicolegal issues, dermatology, fractures, smoking cessation, preventive medicine, and vitamin deficiencies.Each chapter begins with study hints that spell out what is emphasized on the exam and what is not. The authors also point out pitfalls in answering the exam questions and suggest strategies for guessing well when in doubt. A separate chapter specifically addresses the glossy book, the test booklet that contains questions based on photographs.
