If you want to ruin Step 1, this should be your Micro source.

As a student preparing for Step 1 of the medical boards this is a must read, no-brainer, hands down. The systems based approach style prepares you for the complexity that the USMLE and the COMLEX will test. The authors have done a wonderful job providing interdisciplinary insight to make the hard diagnosis. The piece is well written and illustrated to provide the most ‘high yield’ in rank needed to CRUSH the boards. After reading this book, I felt very comfortable with microbiology (I had ZERO microbiology background and still walked away refreshed). From soup to nuts this is the best money invested for the BUGS of medicine!

I wish I had more than three days until Step 1 so I may possibly read this fantastic book cover to cover. The layout is fantastic including the appendices that cover general Micro tests and concepts. Even as it doesn’t have the goofy mnemonics of …Ridiculously Simple, it is MUCH more Boards focused.
The photos of cultures, tests and infections; introductory clinical cases; differential diagnoses; and thorough descriptions of the pathophysiology are second to none. I borrowed a preview copy from my Micro Prof and don’t want to give it up!
