The biochemistry/USMLE® review you’ve been waiting for . . . clear, concise, 

high yield, and clinically relevant

INCLUDES AN ONLINE VIDEO LECTURE FOR EVERY CHAPTER!

The goal of Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Medical Course & Step 1 Review is to make biochemistry an approachable, clinically relevant subject for your first years of medical school, and, most importantly, when you prepare to take the USMLE® Step 1 examination. The authors believe that when biochemistry is put in a clinical context, learning and understanding it becomes much less complicated, as all the pieces of the “puzzle” fall into place. 

A SELF-CONTAINED, HIGH-YIELD GUIDE UNLIKE ANY OTHER

You will find Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Medical Course & Step 1 Review to be a self-contained guide to high-yield biochemistry, with a strong focus on the topics you are most likely to see on the USMLE® Step 1 exam. 

You can select any chapter and find a self-contained summary of the relevant topic. The authors begin with the basics of the cell and DNA, and protein synthesis, then cover the central aspects of metabolism, and finish with nutrition and genetics. 

EASY-TO-ABSORB CHAPTERS ENHANCED BY COMPANION ONLINE VIDEOS

The information is delivered in a simple outline format that pinpoints the high-yield information you need to know. Each chapter is also presented as a lecture, in video format, so you can review the topic in real time and add additional notes as you learn each topic or review them later.

BY BEGINNING YOUR STEP 1 PREPARATION WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF BIOCHEMISTRY YOU WILL FIND IT MUCH EASIER TO REVIEW HIGH-YIELD TOPICS WITHOUT GETTING OVERWHELMED.
