The best, most trusted review for the USMLE Step 3 is now in full color

The USMLE Step 3 exam is taken by residents during the first year of residency and is the last of the required USMLE exams for licensure as a practicing physician in America. This exam tests residents' ability to properly manage common medical conditions. There is a Q&A and a simulated case portion to the exam, which is given only in the USA at Prometric Testing Centers. Generally, residents in primary care specialties and EM do well on this exam; those in specialized residencies (ophthalmology, neurology, etc) tend to have a harder time passing the first time and study more.

First Aid for the USMLE Step 3 provides busy residents with thousands of high-yield facts, mnemonics, and visual aids to help them pass the USMLE Step 3. More than 100 mini-cases provide practice for the CCS portion of the exam. The third edition features full color throughout the book, 35 pages of new material, and a complete revision to eliminate redundancy and over-information and highlight the most essential material for the exam. It is written by residents who recently passed Step 3 and reviewed by faculty for accuracy.
