Hi guys,
I am new to this forum. I started my preparation for step 1. I know which books to get and not to get for patho etc.... But for physio I am not sure. Could somebody recomend something. I have been using physio BRS how is that. Is it oversimplified. I still have plenty of time. I am worried about this subject though. Thanks guyswink

U need nothing But Kaplan the NEw version and Ganong for Like References thats all. Most of us use Either BRS or Ganong alongwith Kaplan Lecture notes. for a reference book Ganong is best for Simplified version of Basic Physio BRS is good so there u will have to take ur pick. I used Ganong alongwith Kaplan,

i agree with NNL....
but i feel kaplan is far sufficient for physiology..........
except CNS and endocrino....
but it has covered all major topics.......only thing is dont leave anything........
rather than reading 2 books read one.....and refer other books like ganong for special topics.....
thats gonna save lot of time......
time is never sufficient......smiling face

hey.......i really understand......but i told u dont worry...just to do questions....once u do that u will realise u had the concept but something u have missed....then read that part from reference book.
dont go on reading whole endo from the book....waste of time

i personally wasted lot of time.......gringringrin

i understand endo covers one third of kapl physio but needs more attention than that.....Q are really tricky...

simply dont waste time....smiling face

i think BRS is ideal for physiology , u dont need anymore source for physiology and also i think it is much more better than kaplan so i think study the BRS then revise from the first aid , answer mcqs ,,,, this is more than enough
