First Aid for the Basic Sciences: General Principles

First Aid for the Basic Sciences: General Principles, 3rd Edition, provides a single-source review of the first year of medical school. Written in an accessible style that assumes little prior knowledge, the textbook serves as an introductory study companion across the first two years of medical school.

The volume outlines foundational principles in disciplines such as biochemistry, embryology, pathology, and public health sciences. It also presents essential frameworks for understanding anatomy, behavioral science, microbiology, immunology, and pharmacology.

Organized to mirror the table of contents of First Aid for the USMLE Step 1, the text facilitates side-by-side study to support both ongoing preclinical coursework and exam preparation.
