4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"The audience is by definition American medical students preparing for the examinations, but there is definite benefit for other physician assistant and nurse practitioner students as well. I would add that there is utility for every medical school faculty member to review in designing their teaching goals for the students....For the intended audience, this is a high value preparation book."--Doody's Review Service
