Rapid Review: Physiology

---

Rapid Review Physiology, Second Edition, is intended for medical students preparing
for Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination. I believe this new
edition represents a significant improvement from the first edition for a variety
of reasons. The first edition was written by me while I was a resident in internal
medicine, with tremendous input from contributing authors. Although their input
was extremely helpful, because of their varying styles I thought that the first edition
did not read as smoothly as I would have liked. In contrast, this edition was authored
solely by me, now a relatively seasoned clinician and physiologist, and therefore
“speaks” with a single voice.

As with the first edition, my strategy was to teach the core physiological principles
in an integrated fashion with respect to the basic sciences as well as in a clinical context
wherever possible. The second edition also includes hundreds of margin notes
containing what I think is high-yield information for the boards. Some students may
peruse a particular chapter simply by reviewing the margin notes to see if they have
a good grasp of the underlying material. This is what is meant by rapid review!
• Text: Clear and concise and in an outline format with an emphasis on imparting a
conceptual understanding rather than focusing on “low-yield” minutiae.
• Clinical notes: Dispersed throughout the book. Stress the clinical significance of
the underlying physiology, which facilitates comprehension and makes the
material more enjoyable.
• Basic science notes: Dispersed throughout the book. Act as a “bridge” between
physiology and closely related concepts in anatomy, pathology, and pharmacology,
which is essential for a deeper understanding of the underlying physiology and is
invaluable preparation for the boards.
• Tables and illustrations: Facilitate understanding and act as quick reference
sources.
• Access to questions via Internet (with password provided): Allows students to
practice questions online in a realistic USMLE format. Questions can be accessed
in a subject-specific manner to review a given “system,” or in a random manner to
review all of physiology.
