Preface
Thesesevenvolumes of LectureNotes represent a yearlong effort on the part of the Kaplan
Medicalfacultytoupdate ourcurriculum toreflectthemost-likely-to-be-tested material onthe
current USMLEStep 1exam. Pleasenote that theseareLectureNotes,not reviewbooks. The
Notes were designed to be accompanied by faculty lectures-live, on video, or on the web.
Readingthese Notes without accessingthe accompanying lectures is not an effectivewayto
reviewfortheUSMLE.
TomaximizetheeffectivenessoftheseNotes,annotate them asyou listento lectures. Tofacil-
itate this process,we've created wide, blank margins. While these margins are occasionally
punctuated byfacultyhigh-yield"margin notes:' theyare,forthe most part, leftblankforyour
notations.
Manystudents findthat previewingthe Notesprior tothe lecture isaveryeffectivewayto pre-
pareforclass. Thisallowsyoutoanticipate the areaswhereyou'll needtopayparticular atten-
tion. It alsoaffordsyou the opportunity to map out howthe information isgoing tobe pre-
sentedandwhat sort ofstudyaids (charts, diagrams,etc.)you might want to add. Thisstrate-
gyworksregardlessofwhether you're attending alivelecture or watchingone onvideo or the
web.
Finally,wewanttohearwhatyouthink. What doyoulikeabout the notes? What doyouthink
couldbe improved? Pleaseshareyour [email protected].
