 not very helpful despite good potential September 23, 2008
Basically, it is very skeletal review with too little detail and too many missing topics. It does overall good job to address some (yes, only some of the vast amount of step 3 facts) of the high yields topics though.
The cardiology section is unacceptably brief and missing out too many facts such as the management of the major valvular disease, which is critical on step 3!
So if you go over the online Q banks, especially usmleworld qs (very picky and detailed oriented questions) you would keep searching for the better explanations, which are completely missing out on this book.
Of course, I am referring to a review book, not a major text book. But even a review book, it must be reasonably detailed with sufficient coverage of the related topics.
This book would have been much better if the authors would add more details and add more diseases such as Rocky mountain spotted fever, Hyper/hypothyroidism in pregnancy, Geriatrics, opthalmology, trauma medicine, and Pediatrics/Adolescents medicine of better coverage.
It is simply too "lazy" book that hampers the hard earned good reputations for the FA step 1 and 2 in which I did use them extensively for the step 1 and 2.

I used this book as well as several others (i'm guilty of buying TOO many books...)! This book very much helped me with the detail I needed to do very well in areas I didn't remember from Medical School. As a Pediatrics Resident, I highly recommend this book to fill in "the blanks" so to speak.

I bought this product and I regret it. First Aid for Step 2 ck would have done a better job. This book lacks too much detail to be the only referral.

A very good book to review for step 3. Its not enough by its self but a very good complement to other books like Swanson Family Medicine.

It's a good quick review for who is taking step 3. It's a good option if you taking the exam soon and don't have time enough to read lots!!! I recommend.
