according to FA good is BRS Physiology. Many usmle takers study from Kaplan lectures.

If you need only review, these are good , if you have time to study more, Ganong (924 pages) is excellent. nod

Ganong is a reference dude... It's more than 900 pages! Kaplan is far far easier to handle and I've heard its ideal for Step 1.

Thanks DrPak. I don't understand why it's named as "review of medical physiology". I agree, Ganong is a kind of concise reference for people who are familiar with physio and biochem. It's very uptodate, but renal and respiration sections need some improvements.
