Great book for Rotation!!!:
This book had everything I needed to feel like I was learning what was expected of me during the rotation as well as helping me get a great foundation as to base my studies for Step 2. I plan on looking back at this book while I get ready for Step 2 to brush up on the finer points. Overall a great book and worth the money spent!
excellent primary resource for 3rd year ob/gyn clerkship:
I haven't been impressed with Blueprints for medicine or psychiatry, but for ob/gyn it's the single best review book. Pair up with Casefiles and a question book or question bank online and you will do very well on the shelf.
Nice overview:
For 2nd year preview on OB, or a quick reference for third year, this is ok. However, it will not even come close to the depth of info on the NMBE shelf exam
Perfect!:
This book is perfect for clinical rotations in OB/GYN. Although most blueprints are very helpful, this is my favorite out of the series because it gives you everything you need to know for your exams and clerkship, as well as helpful review questions in the end (like all blueprints). Very easy to read. I carried it with me throughout my rotation and excelled on the test.
