Blueprints Notes & Cases-Biochemistry, Genetics, and Embryology

Reviews / Votes

Here's what students are saying about Blueprints Notes & Cases - Biochemistry, Genetics, and Embryology 'The format of the book is very amenable to studying for the exam. The boards often require two step thinking and the format of having a case first, followed by an extensive review of not just the case, but other topics related to the case allows the student to develop the skill of thinking beyond the original case. This is exactly the type of thinking that MUST happen for someone to do well on the boards.' -Sherwin Chan Class of 2004, Washington University School of Medicine 'I particularly liked the 'key points' because a week or two before the boards this is the kind of condensed, 'bare-bones' information that I went back and made sure I knew cold.' This book could be purchased and used for the Biochemistry classes in the 1st or 2nd years and then used for Step 1 review. -Nancy Lares Class of 2004 Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine Huntington, West Virginia 'Beginning each section with a case scenario draws the reader into the section better than simply presenting data first and example last. The clinical manifestations section as well as diagnosis and treatment sections were great.' - Paula Rossi, Class of 2004, Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, Fort Worth, Texas 'The book is easy to read, covers a variety of high yield topics, and presents the clinical applications of biochemical pathways excellently. I have yet to read a review book that presents the clinical applications of biochemical pathways so efficiently.' 'The relevancy and conciseness of these cases are their major strength. I was very impressed with the vitamin case because it was so thorough and well written. On my Step1 exam, I had quite a few questions about vitamin deficiencies and this case addressed all of them.' 'I found many of the cases to be excellent in relating structure to function and reviewing facts from 1st year that make studying for Step 1 so difficult.' - Dionne Louis, Class of 2004, Morehouse School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia
