>> not good for step 1
I was really excited when I found theses cards at first sight they looked far superior to the BRS/Lippincott cards that everyone uses However after going through them I m finding they are not good for learning drugs for step 1 There are more clinical stories than hard facts about each drug and there is little overlap with the drugs covered in First Aid scares me I m not learning what I need to Perhaps they will be better for step 2 and/or 3 but I m not going to use them to teach myself drugs for step 1
>> Good review aid
The question and answer format is helpful You need to have a fair amount of background knowledege to get the full use of these cards Great to read in the train bus etc
>> good for pharm and more
I had a number of questions on step 1 that I wouldn t have gotten correct if I hadn t used these cards It doesn t seem like it but there is a lot of information in the cards I plan on using these cards to review for my other board exams I used the other pharm cards to study but ended up primarily sticking to this set
