Great book for students by Katherine S. Kennedy  4 Stars
November 14, 2009
As a medical student in clinicals I found this book very helpful. The attending for my OB/Gyn rotation highly recommended it. It's an easy read and explains things well without being too wordy or detailed. It has a ton of questions at the end of the book, divided into chapters for review. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because I did notice that a few of the questions are incorrect. I would find the answers in the chapter to be different than those in the back. This didn't happen often, but enough to make me second-guess the accuracy of some of them. Overall a great book.

Good Overview, Not Enough Detail by P.Jasmine  3 Stars
May 03, 2009
I used this book to study ObsGyn pre-clerkship, and it was fine, but when it came down to handling patients on the floor, this book did not have nearly enough detail. It's well written, and gives a good overview of most subjects, especially Obstetrics. But, if you want more info on Gyne, or actual patient MANAGEMENT, go elsewhere.

Okay, but at times frustrating by O. Abbasi (USA) 3 Stars
August 07, 2008
I bought this book because it was a known fact that our attending pimped students according to the material covered in each of its chapters.
However, I soon learned that Beckman's is one of those medical books that tries to incorporate every fact into its chapters, but it does so by simply stating the fact. That is, the book would mention a procedure or disease process, but would not expand on it, it would simply list the process or procedure and move on. The book also tends to cover alternative procedures almost to a tertiary level without completely expanding on the first option presented. This is useful if you want a complete index so you can claim that the book covers everything. But when you are being questioned by an attending on the pathologies or reasoning behind a procedure, it makes you look quite stupid if all you can do is rattle off a list.
I understand that most medical books need to be cross-referenced with others. But I believe in this scenario, Hacker and Moore's book is MUCH better. It covers all topics presented in Beckman's but explains why you do what you would do. I recommend comparing the two books before selecting one. I bought beckmans, but I constantly reread the Beckmans chapter with the hacker and moore I found in the school library. This allowed me to make a killing when being pimped. Both books are pretty easy to read. I would, however, say hacker and moore is even easier in terms of chapter layout and topics covered.

great book for PA students by Lisa Walton 4 Stars
May 08, 2007
I found this book to be a wonderful supplement to everything I learned on my ob/gyn rotation. Everything I needed was in this book for my end of rotation exam on which I scored very well. I would highly recommend it.
