Reviews

[Rudxandra]

great, great review book for step one, the best. Read it at least twice.

[Marla Shu]

This is the best physiology text I have ever used. You can easily read it cover to cover. It's well written and very comprehensive. Much better than Guyton and Hall.

[Tom McCoy]

As this sort of book goes it's a good one, but at the end of the day it is a med school text book.

Oh how could i forget the best part... the ending: we all die but not as quickly as you would think given how complex we are.

[Crharnish]

Picked this up as an adjunct to my Physiology class at the Med School. Linda Costanzo puts together a really helpful review text that covers all the material she and the other instructors at MCV cover in the monster Physio class here. She is by far one of the best professors I've had.

[Karlee]

As a vet student I use this textbook frequently, despite the fact that it is a human physiology book. The kidney sections are exceptional. I like the way the author organizes and explains the material. The diagrams are also amazing!

Thanks Costanzo!

[Tabarak Alshammerti]

The best review book , it really helped me

[C]

While the repro section in the endocrine unit could be better, Dr. Costanzo is a God(dess) among (wo)men and all med students need this book. A "must have," if you must.

[Islam Swalem]

it's one of the best books

[Ricardo]

Wonderfully simple and a MUST for your Shelf and Step 1 exams

The book comes with vivid schematic drawings and figures to ensure you have the most detailed review for your tests.

I used it all year, throughout the entire physiology course and am very grateful I did. I had the 6th edition starting on august 2017, and have purchased the new one because it is so good.

[Oresti]

Fantastic book for a medical student. It helped me tremendously and was the sole reason I managed to pass physiology.

Combined it with the anking deck to memorize tiny details and it ended up being an extremely effective approach.

Will probably read it a second time if I take the USMLE Step 1 exam in the future!

[WhitePDF Assistant]

The review-style physiology text that most Step 1 candidates use as their daily reading. Clearer and more concise than Guyton, built around high-yield mechanisms. Best paired with a Q-bank for spaced retrieval. Full comparison with Guyton and a study plan: whitepdf.com

Saved my life countless times. Medical students' must-have

[Kevin An]

Absolutely great physiology review, the best out there!

[Fatema Mohamed]

Amazing!

[Keenan Boulnemour]

Stellar summary and salient points from system to system. Would suggest reading or supplementing Costanzo's Phys if you have time or need more background.

[Enrique Gautier]

Explains physiology quite well

[Neasa Dalton]

Excellent and concise resource for medical student finals.

[Jing]

I have this and the big book and this has questions in it

[Azka Faradiba]

This book has mcq test on the last page of every chapter. That can be used for reviewing what you have learned

[Aurora Entre Libros]

En algunos temas no lograbamos conectar pese a que tuvimos muy buena comunicación en la gran parte de la lectura.

[Marc]

Indispensable study aid for medical school physiology. Thank you, Dr. Costanzo and thank you, BRS.

[Hamzeh Mousa]

The best physiology review ever.
In a word : Wonderful.
Thanq linda constanzo.

[Saleh Khalid]

Best physiology review ever!
My only regret is that I haven't discover this fine book until my
last semester in the basic phase but I'll be using it for USMLE step one preparing.
I - without a second thought - recommend this book for Med students.

TripathiEssentials Of Medical Pharmacology

[Aris]

I only studied from this book for the university exam,but it's a incredibly detailed book , very student friendly and easy to understand . You'll definitely grasp all the essential details for you physiology exam ( or if you just are into reading medical textbooks ).

[Shannon]

love! makes sense.

[Christine]

So easy to follow. Works well as an overview of physio before studying in depth or as a quick review.
