This set of review cards is designed for use by medical students at various levels of training, inclusive of preclinical students preparing for USMLE Step 1 examination to senior students currently in clinical training and preparing for internship and reviewing for USMLE Step 2 examination.

As such, the cards can be used in multiple ways. Junior students can use them to self-test and prepare for examination as well as to provide exposure to some of the most common clinical presentations with pertinent diagnostic findings. Students in advanced training will find the cards useful to relate therapeutic management decisions to underlying pathophysiology. On each card, key clinical information is presented to help the student recognize high yield concepts and presentation of a particular disease entity. Explanations on the back of the card provide concise and highly relevant (for clinical care or exam review) details of physiologic mechanisms.

It is our goal that use of this product will help students to simultaneously learn/recognize important (highly testable!) clinical conditions, while reviewing the important underlying pathophysiologic principles associated with each.
