Reviewer: Thomas L. Pazdernik, PhD (University of Kansas Medical Center)
Description: With the aid of well-designed illustrations, this book covers the facts and concepts in pharmacology medical students are required to master in their curriculum and in order to be well prepared for the pharmacology questions on the USLME Step 1.
Purpose: It is designed to serve a dual purpose for medical students, providing a concise course review and a high-yield USMLE test preparation. The author has done a marvelous job in preparing an illustrated book for pharmacology.
Audience: Although intended for medical students, this book should serve well any students in the health professions who have pharmacology in their curriculum and must pass board certifying exams that have pharmacology as one of the test components.
Features: A section on general principles of pharmacology begins the book, followed by eight sections presented according to pharmacology systems. Hundreds of well-designed, color illustrations bring clarity to the concepts and organization to learning about numerous drugs. A succinct bullet-point format is used for each pharmaceutical agent covering mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, uses, contraindications, and side effects that allows rapid comparison and review. Well-constructed sidebars correlate pharmacological concepts with normal function (orange), fundamental biochemical, genetic, and embryonic concepts (green), and disease and treatment (blue). The book also includes about 400 factual and USMLE-style questions with explanations (200 in the text and 200 online accessed via the scratch-off code in the book).
Assessment: Visual learners now have two well-designed, illustrated pharmacology review books to select from. The long-standing Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology, 5th edition, Harvey et al. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2012), is beloved by visual learners. However, I like this new book because I feel it is more professionally pleasing and is presented with a conciseness to facilitate the mastery of essential information needed for success on certification exams and/or in clinical practice.
