New York/StuttgartThe right test-taking strategy for the USMLE Step II licensing exam

For medical students and interns, finding the best approach and the right tools to study for the USMLE Step II medical licensing exam can be more daunting than sitting the examination itself.

With the help of more than 1,000 illustrations spread over 1,300 pages, EMN 2016 offers dedicated chapters for 30 medical specialties including cardiology, family medicine, neurology as well as vascular surgery.
