Hit all of the high yield points. A must have for any osteopathic medical student. I was extremely grateful for this resource because every school teaches OMM differently and uses a different vocabulary.
This really cut down on my test-day anxiety and hopefully improved my score. Found those to be the best resources. Good use of those afternoons for sure Also, most questions were similar in length to the COMSAE with only a handful of comically long stems. Time was not an issue on the exam. Hope that helps, GL everyone! James, OMS3.
I only looked at a few pages, but it made me cringe to find at least 2 errors on 2 pages not just typos. For example, the way Savarese illustrates the superior skull moving during sphenobasilar flexion is wrong on page Also, on page , there is a question about the treatment to improve the symptoms of a child in respiratory distress due to an asthma attack. The correct answer claims that seated thoracic pump is the technique of choice, but this is actually contraindicated until the attack subsides.
According to my professor who is a COMLEX item writer , Savarese's text is pretty much a bound copy of his class notes that he updated a few times I don't think he's updated since he went into practice.
So you're pretty much paying a classmate for their notes and hoping their information is right. Get that instead. Used this book only to study for Level 1 and did very well in the OMT content. However, for some subjects like counterstrain and VSR, it is too brief so supplement those areas. The book helped me to get a quick and to the point review in a very short period of time. The book lacked certain specific details, but at that point, I went to the more detailed books which wasn't a whole lot.
In general, I felt the book did its job. I noticed there were a lot of anatomy info which I didn't need for the practical exam, but will be useful for quick reviews surgically speaking.
I felt the book was a good buy. Thank you for your help. This is a very good book. It highlights key features of what you need to know. Provides some very useful mnemonics. Do not buy "Foundations for O. My roommate didn't even break the seal for hers.
I used this text extensively to review for Level 1, 2, and 3. With minimal exposure to OMT on rotations during 3rd and 4th years, I was able to still score , , and respectively. This book has useful information for learning material that you will need to know in the classroom on on your boards. That said, this book is riddled with errors.
You have to be careful what you read, because there are typos on nearly every page. The questions at the end of each chapter are moderately useful in asking about what you just read. However, the question blocks at the end of the book are atrociously bad. Many of the questions test your knowledge of concepts not presented in the book, so I suppose you can approach them as another learning opportunity, but as a question format they're not very helpful.
One example: Supraventricular tachyarrhythmias that have been associated with hypersympathetic activity are most likely to arise from: A. Right sided sympathetic fibers originating from T1-T4 B.
Left sided sympathetic fibers originating from T2-T5 C. Left vagus nerve D and E are obviously wrong If you committed to memory the chart on page as you are supposed to for boards, see below you will remember that the spinal cord level associated with the heart is T1-T5. There are 2 answer choices that fit that answer, and choice C is wrong because the vagus does parasympathetics.
