Customer Reviews:
Terrific book! November 10, 2008 New version of the path BRS is terrific. Distills the essentials of pathology into a concise, easy-to-read book, with test yourself questions & explanations at the end of each chapter.
Think it's best used if read before & after your course materials (lectures handouts, Robbins, etc). But having this book will ensure you are learning what you must know about pathology. Plus, it will then serve as a great refresher when studying for Step 1.
pretty good October 12, 2008 Add notes to this book as you're going through Organ Systems courses and this will help significantly with review...

This book is a no nonsense review of path. Sure it lacks illustrations, but it's well organized and covers the high yield stuff for step I.
High yield pathology review June 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an excellent review for both a pathology course and for studying for USMLE Step I. Its main weakness is that it doesn't include very many images, so you need an atlas of some sort as a companion. I used an image bank my school provided and this book alone to study for pathology on Step I, and I did extremely well.
Too poor June 2, 2008 I am reading Robbin's and Cotran:Pathologic basis of desease:it is too long and I spend too much time to prepare for Usmle 1,but BRS Pathology is too poor.This book needs to be doubled:so it will became enough for that examination and near you must add an atlas,a colour atlas,to see what the student is are studying.Excuse me for my poor english.By.
