Integrated Basic Sciences

by Earl J. Brown

This new Pre-test title offers yet another tool for USMLE prep. This time, the basic science questions are integrated just as they are on the USMLE Step 1 exam. 151 clinical vignettes are also included and reinforced what's tested on the exam. All answers are referenced to the current literature for those wanting to expand their study.No longer is it enough for students to know the intricacies of basic sciences as they prepare for the USMLE Step 1. Now, they must comprehend the clinical implications of these sciences as they relate to caring for patients. This new PreTest addresses this change with over 600 integrated questions from all basic science subjects. The questions are presented in groups of three. The first question covers the anatomy of a concept, the second reviews normal functioning, and the third tests knowledge of abnormal functioning. All questions are based on clinical scenarios and a patient history is examined with each set of questions.
