USMLE Step 1 Pass Program Video Lectures (2010) - Gastrointestinal Physiology

2010-12-18T23:41:00.000-08:00

About the PASS Program:
The PASS Program was created in 1988 and officially opened for business in the year 2000. This program is different from any other program in this country. It teaches integrated thinking so that a medical student can answer any question asked at any level. It does not, and should not, matter whether a student is taking the USMLE 1, USMLE 2, or USMLE3. The information that is covered in this program is so high yield and so highly integrated that it is relevant on all exams, even board certification exams. Because of this unique format, we have been able to help students achieve the highest pass rates, as well as the highest passing scores, on all of the USMLE exams.
The mission of the PASS PROGRAM:
The mission of the PASS PROGRAM is to inspire, encourage and empower medical students and physicians who enter our doors. We will not only teach them the basic medical sciences, but we will teach them how to clinically integrate their knowledge. In other words, we will encourage them not to merely memorize medical information, but empower them to clearly and clinically master that knowledge. We will maintain a positive learning environment at all times so that no student will feel ashamed or be embarrassed of his or her academic situation. For, in the end, our true mission is to show other medical institutions that even when a student may not look so promising with a poor academic history, with the individualized teaching sessions we have with all of our students, most of them can be helped to develop into academically strong, spiritually empowered, and outstandingly confident clinical physicians. With God as our inspiration, this will always be our mission.
The clarity and simplication of the explanations of certain key concepts are second to none. You will understand and retain the specificities of the pathophysiology of the most high yield disease processes that you will be tested on. You will also be provided with test taking skills that will enable you to quickly recognize distractors and clues. Over 71 hours of Live lecture by Dr. Francis

2010-12-18T23:31:00.000-08:00

A Comprehensive Case-Based Review Guide for the Family Practice Boards or Recertification Exam

5 STAR DOODY’S REVIEW!

“The book is both broad and comprehensive, with chapters written by family physicians and specialists who contribute informative, easy to follow, and concise discussions. Chapters cover the main systems of the body as well as HIV/AIDS, men’s health, women’s health, care of the surgical patient, and care of the older patient. In addition, there are chapters not traditionally included in board review books on ethics, end-of-life care, evidence-based medicine, and patient-centered care. Chapters are well written, contain questions consistent with those found on the boards, and provide explanations that will help readers navigate these topics on the exam. The case-based approach provides a comprehensive review of topics commonly encountered in the family physician’s office. Each chapter contains clinical pearls, quizzes, and objectives to ensure that the main points have been addressed. The numerous illustrations include quality images of dermatological conditions, EKGs, and x-rays. Tables provide useful charts and are effective teaching tools.

This will be a wonderful resource not only for those preparing for the family medicine boards, but also for family medicine residents, physicians, and anyone else working in a primary care setting.” — Doody’s

Family Practice Examination & Board Review serves as an ideal study guide for the primary and recertification exam in family medicine and for licensure exams.

Evidence-Based Neurology: Management of Neurological Disorders (Evidence-Based Medicine)

2010-12-18T22:54:00.000-08:00

In Evidence-based Neurology: Management of Neurological Disorders, a carefully selected group of clinically experienced collaborators use the best available evidence to answer more than 100 clinical questions about the treatment and management of neurological disorders.

Divided into three sections and 24 chapters, Evidence-based Neurology: Management of Neurological Disorders:

* fills the gap between guidelines and primary studies as well as between primary and secondary scientific medical literature

* summarizes the most recent and important findings on treatments for neurological patients

* the benefit and, when applicable, harm inherent in specific neurological interventions.

Each chapter starts with a brief definition of the clinical condition, together with its incidence and natural history. A clear formulation of a real-world scenario or question usually follows, structured using the standard three elements of patient, intervention, and outcome. The results are as quantitative as possible.

This unique, evidence-based text, edited by members of the Cochrane Neurological will be an essential resource for all general neurologists, from the novice to the most experienced, in their everyday clinical practice.

This book reviews the evidence for best practice in obstetrics and maternal-fetal medicine. It readers with the right information, in the right format, by summarizing evidence in easy-to-use tables and algorithms. Recommendations have linkage to supporting evidence, and quality of evidence and strength of recommendation is stressed. Areas of uncertainty are recognized, and ‘individualized’ care suggested. Recommendations based on randomized trials and meta-analyses are highlighted so that clinical outcomes can be improved. The proper use of each guideline is aimed at “make it easy to do it right”, so there is appropriate use of proven interventions and no use of harmful interventions. Plenty of evidence is available so that well-informed clinicians can reduce errors (primum non nocere), so the first aim is ultimately to improve the health of mother and fetus by providing quality care
