BRS Physiology (Board Review Series)

This book is seriously getting me through physiology. Not a replacement for a textbook (some of the concepts aren't explained, just listed), but a great review before the test. Reading through the chapter makes everything seem so much clearer! And the questions at the end of the chapter are a great way to study. I haven't taken the boards yet, but I'm sure this book will be helpful for them!

I've so far just been using this to review the basics of physiology in preparation for tests. It's great for helping to establish a skeleton for learning. You may need to look up some finer details, but the vast majority of what you need is right here.

Really helps you pick out the things you MUST KNOW. Great tables.

Doesn't have enough substance or diagrams for renal physio. It also doesn't cover clotting/coagulation (please correct me if i'm wrong), so make sure you get that info elsewhere...

BRS Physiology is a must have for everyone who is or ever has been in medical school. It lays down a firm foundation for your fund of knowledge. It is not comprehensive but it is concise and easy to read. The questions are useful for self-assessment.

I bought this one for two months now. It's pretty precise and clear.
