Embryology, FIFTH EDITION

The fifth edition of BRS Embryology has afforded me the opportunity to further finetune
a work that was already a highly rated course review book as well as an excellent
review for the USMLE Step 1. This fine-tuning is a result of the many students who
have contacted me by e-mail to point out errors and give suggestions for improvement.
I appreciate this student feedback very much.
In the fifth edition, I have placed clinical images closer to the corresponding text
to make reviewing more efficient. As in the previous edition, the Comprehensive
Examination at the end of the book reflects the USMLE Step 1 format.
I hope that students will continue to find BRS Embryology a clear and thorough
review of embryology. After taking the USMLE Step 1, I invite you to e-mail me at
dudekr@ecu.edu to convey any comments or to indicate any area that was particularly
represented on the USMLE Step 1, so that future editions of this book may
improve.
