USMLE Step 2 Made Ridiculously Simple

Excellent book series. Great review and refresher. Fun to read and great information.

good

Please buy a different book. The layout is done well, but there is too much vital information missing, and several differences between the presented information and both UWorld and the NBME practice exams. For example, they fail to mention parvovirus when discussing erythema infectiosum. I understand typos and small errors, but please don't use this as a resource for your step 2 prep.

I found the concept of tables and visually organized facts good. However, this book should not be used as single source as many facts are not as current as they should be, e.g. treatment for hyperlipidemia without statins etc. Again, the book does a very good job in organizing key facts such as clinical signs and symptoms. Those are not subject to tremendous change over time. For clinical, especially therapeutic issues, please take care and consult another more "serious" review book.
