This book was recommended to me by a friend who took comlex level 1. It's a terrific, easy to follow, high yield question and answer book. I wish I had it during my first two years of osteopathic medical school!
I purchased this book as a general review of OMT .It is very concise and easy to read. It offers only what you need and no more. I found it easy to navigate and pretty complete.It is an above average pocket guide and excellent refresher.
If you enjoy reading an 800 pg book for what could be learned in 80 then maybe this book is not for you. I can learn and retain more form this text than lectures or the larger texts because it condenses the material into one sentence "one liner" format while still retaining the meat. This book is the filet mignon of osteopathic texts, so are you ready to "trim the fat"?PS. read savarese too
I have been in the ED for 13 years. I remember many techniques but not enough & the language used to describe is reported to be important for the practical portion of the boards. This book seems to be a great place to start.
This book is ok for a quick review of OMT. If you don't want to read Saverese, then I suggest you read this. It more comes in handy for OMT exams during medical school and COMLEX 1 and 2. For COMLEX 3 you will need something with more information in it, but if you start with this book it would help. Unless you are going into a residency that emphasizes OMT, I would just get it from a library.
