Books I read for AIPGE preparation Author:, Posted on Tuesday, February 15 @ 07:05:30 IST by Just for fun, this article is going to be a discussion on which books our fellow members find the most useful (pg preparation or otherwise), and why. I’ll list my own for starters.

1) Anatomy-BRS series I just abhor the subject, and there just wasn’t any way I was going to mug Chaurasia. In fact, I just hate the site of those 3 volumes. This book has proved to be a life saver that way, maybe a bit too detailed, but much better than the High-Yield version.(In fact the only books of the High-Yield Series I’d recommend are those dealing with Biostatistics and embryo). Runner’s up-Moore’s Essential Clinical Anatomy. (Good but probably a tad too expensive). Embryology - High Yield Histology -???? Neuroanatomy - Snells (High -Yield if urea short of time, and motivation) 2) Biochemistry -Lippincott (what else?) Everything u need for the entrances.

Strong on integrated metabolic pathways, good mcq’s (though not many), great on genetic analysis procedures. Paisa wasool, esp. If you have got it xeroxed. Runners’ up-Harper (Dry, monotonous and scariest to people not interested in the subject. The studs would go for it though. Consider it, esp. If u feel answering questions on “chromosome walking” will raise your rank from say 25 to a 15.

J) 3) Physiology-Berne and Levy. I’m in the minority here, but people who’ve read from this in college will swear by the book. None of the brevity of review books like Ganongnone of the exaggerated verbosity of books like Guyton either. Great for CVS (the book for it actually). Best if you have the time for it. Runners up-Ganong(good for review, but only if reading reviews is your style) 4) Micro-Ananthanarayan/Greenwood/Jawet’z All are good, but I tend to lean a bit towards Greenwood,for the simple reason that it made an unpalatable subject like micro readable, and finally likeable for me. Good on bacteriology/virology (but for immunology, turn to the review by Jawet’z; Harrison) 5) Pharmacology-Katzung/Goodman and Gillman.

Nothing to say about the latter. The Bible, but reading Bible’s not everybody’s style. Personally, I love Katzung. It’s of a manageable size, gives u the latest info and of course anything coming out of the Lange stable’s got to be good. Runner’s up-KDT (‘cause the last time I read that book was in my clinical years long ago, and my memories of it aren’t pleasant.

Too much of info to be crammed, at the expense of the how’s, and why’s) 6) Pathology-Big Robbins No questions asked. The eternal book. Runners up-None 7) Ophthalmology -Khurana. Bp ot printera. In our college we were (And probably still are), for obvious reasons, forced to read a book (or rather a guide) by Dr V A Rao for clinics. This explains the distaste I have for the subject. If only I’d known about this book, life would have been much, much easier.
