Group name: Preclinical Medicine Complete 7-Book Subject Review 2023 (Kaplan Medical) — also known as USMLE Step 1 Lecture Notes 2023 version “7-Book Preclinical Review”. Publisher / author: Kaplan Medical (Kaplan Test Prep) — team of authors and reviewers at Kaplan. Number of pages (entire group): approximately 2560-2600 pages depending on the 2023 edition. Group language: English. Group overview: The group is a comprehensive review of preclinical (Preclinical) for medical students, dedicated to success exams in the United States such as USMLE Step 1, as well as the COMLEX-USA Level 1 exam. Purpose: To gather all materials and concepts that the student is supposed to be familiar with in basic sciences, in an organized manner, somewhat summarized with a focus on “high-yield” and common information in exams. Concepts include “cellular and molecular compounds,” “physiology,” “pharmacology,” “pathology,” “hematology / tumors,” “immunity / microbiology,” “anatomy,” “behavior / social sciences,” and others. It also contains illustrations, tables, end-of-chapter summaries, and clinical correlations to highlight how the information is applied in medical practice or exam questions. Group features: Comprehensive coverage of all preclinical exam subjects in one book or one set, instead of buying separate books for each subject. Full-color diagrams and illustrations facilitate visual understanding of complex information. Focus on “high-yield” information, meaning the most likely to appear in questions, saving time and effort. Organized format — each part / chapter has a summary at the end (“chapter summary”) for quick review. Periodic updates, content modifications, and clinical updates to stay current with exam changes. Group contents / parts (sub-books / topics): The group is divided into 7 books, each covering a specific subject or area of preclinical sciences. The parts are as follows: Pathology: How diseases occur, cellular and tissue changes, microscopic diagnosis, macroscopic, tissue, pathological changes in organs. Pharmacology: Drugs: mechanisms of action, indications, interactions, side effects, doses, and how to choose medication in clinical cases. Physiology: Organ functions, regulation of physiological processes, internal balance, ions, respiratory system, cardiac role, renal, etc. Biochemistry / Medical Genetics: Biochemistry, metabolism, genes, mutations, clinical genetics, and hereditary diseases. Immunology / Microbiology: Immune system, bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and immune responses, infectious diseases. Anatomy: Anatomy: microscopic anatomy, general anatomy, surface anatomy, clinical anatomy, system-related anatomy. Behavioral Science / Social Sciences: Behavior science, psychological and social aspects, behavioral factors, medical ethics, communication, statistical thinking / epidemiology, public health. Group summary: Summary: An excellent set if you are a medical student or in the preclinical stage and want a single reference covering all the materials required for exams like USMLE Step 1 or COMLEX Level 1.
