Description
Review/USMLE/Biochemistry. This book presents real-life clinical cases for the basic sciences and USMLE Step 1. Clinical correlations are increasingly emphasized in the teaching of basic medical science. Students, therefore, need exposure to clinical cases to pass course exams and ace the USMLE Step 1. This book presents 46 real-life clinical cases illustrating essential concepts in biochemistry. Each case includes an easy-to-understand discussion correlated to key basic science concepts, definitions of key terms, biochemistry pearls, and USMLE-style review questions. This interactive learning system helps you to learn instead of memorize. It contains 46 clinical cases correlated to high-yield biochemistry concepts; biochemistry pearls highlight key points; USMLE-style comprehension questions with each case; and, primer on how to approach the basic sciences. Proven learning system improves exam scores.'"Case Files: Biochemistry" provides students with a compilation of scenarios very similar to those seen on the USMLE Step 1 and standardized tests. The explanations include everything you need to know and more about a particular disease.
It is a well-rounded method of reviewing for the boards' - Sunitha J.Moonthungal, 3rd year medical student, St. George's University.
