jam packed with clinical information that has appeared on recent administrations of the USMLE Step II, and will enable medical students to "crush the boards". Step II is the same level of difficulty as Step I, but the questions are more relevant to the clinical practice of medicine and focus on what a first year resident in the emergency room or clinic should know - how to diagnose, manage, and treat common diseases. Coverage includes epidemiology and biostatistics, pharmacology and microbiology, cardiac physiology, and basic EKG pathology. Knowing common and life-threatening diseases in the sub-specialties (orthopedics, urology, ophthalmology, nuerosurgery, child psychiatry, and vascular surgery) can increase one's score substantially.
