Kind words

What students say about A-WIN, the book behind Pradis

“I think that the greatest strengths of the chapters are manifold. First, the succinctness of the text as a whole is impressive. Often, textbooks are worried about not covering material in adequate detail and are thus rather verbose. However, as a reader this can be overwhelming and hard to pick out the important points needed for understanding clinical management and preparing oneself for the USMLE Step 2/3 examinations. Second, I believe the use of tables is very beneficial in these chapters. It allows the reader to easily compare and contrast differing pathologies, and seeing important differences in presentations, labs, etc.; as these tend to be the highly tested nuances one must know for USMLE exams. Also, by the time most students take USMLE Step 2/3, they are quite familiar with the various pathologies, but a study resource that quickly covers basics while also highlighting the important differences between disease presentations and treatments. Lastly, the use of numerous figures/ treatment algorithms and integration of those figures into the text are very well done in these chapters.”
