Thoroughly revised and updated for its Fourth Edition, "Step-Up to USMLE Step 1" is the most effective comprehensive systems-based review for the USMLE Step 1 exam.

In the Fourth Edition, clinical vignettes have been developed within each chapter, pharmacology has been further integrated into the systems-based format, a 'Crunch Time Review' has been added, and a completely new chapter outlines study tips and strategies. All information has been reviewed by faculty to ensure accuracy. A companion Website features fully searchable online text, a sample question bank, and more.
