Description

It’s hard to believe that over twenty years ago, while studying for my COMLEX® level 1 that I discovered the need for a comprehensive OMT Review book. Back then, thousands of students including myself, were left sifting through two years of OMT notes, or reading various texts, in order to study for the OMT section of the boards. . With each of the three editions, the book has gained success and I would like to personally thank the osteopathic community for supporting OMT Review.

Several years have elapsed since the last edition. Therefore, I felt that it was important to revise all of the content to reflect the current understanding and knowledge of osteopathic medicine as written in the Foundations for Osteopathic Medicine and the many other texts that form the cornerstone of osteopathic medical education.

There is no Editorial Review for this book

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ The old green book was great for OMM for boards. Great as in “the best thing out there” when nothing else decent was around. This edition it still holds true. Unfortunately the writer has not updated much from the prior edition besides a new fancy cover and some new questions. The content remains in black and white and relatively similar to the prior edition. It is disappointing they would up the price 20 bucks yet it is still printed on the same cheap paper with crappy drawings and diagrams as the prior editions had. If they would have taken the time to put this on legitimate paper, make it color, and redo more images, then it would be worth it. Unfortunately the title is riding the coat tails of previous editions, for which this is NOT much of an improvement.old edition will do you just fine. as will ANKI decks over OMM topics found on ankiweb for freeEdit- they also have a website which has a Q bank, videos, and flashcards. IT IS EXPENSIVE. About the same price as Uworld. It seems to me they cheaply updated the book just to use it as a “foot in the door” method to upsell people an overpriced question bank and online flashcards.

⭐ It’s a great book, but only 4 stars due to one thing:You will find ~50 spelling errors in the book (eg, throacic instead of thoracic, iluim instead of ilium, my instead of may, etc.). The spelling errors don’t take away from how valuable this book is. It’s basically the only source we have for reviewing OMT, and it’s good. But 16 years have lapsed since the last edition… to have this many spelling mistakes is a little bit disappointing. And it makes it seem as though it was published in a hurry.TL;DRGreat book.Many spelling mistakes.

⭐ I’ll start this review by saying this was the only OMM resource I used for my COMLEX L1 because I heard from many colleagues that it was the best book of it’s kind. I personally think the only reason people use this book is because it is the only condensed OMM review. There are multiple typos, the explanations of dysfunction are pretty terrible, some of the end of chapter review questions were mixed up and in the wrong chapter, the counterstrain chapter is terrible, and the list goes on. This book will probably get you through the exam but it will not make it easy.Overall I think this book is probably worth $20 at most. Buy it if you have to, but I STRONGLY encourage people to try to find another resource to become the “gold standard” of OMM review.

⭐ This book is full of high yield information. However, very disappointed with the amount of errors in charts, figures, and in the text. Savarese should release a list of all the errata at the very minimum.

⭐ I really like this book. The questions are super helpful. It is in an easy to use and easy to read format. It has quite a few typos though, it seems like it was put together rather sloppily. But never the less, I am using it to study for STEP 1 and it is helping, I just finished reading through it and I can see my scores already improving.

⭐ A great resource. Well written and covers just about everything you need to know.

⭐ I bought this book because I accidentally gave away my green one. To be honest, it looks like the Third Edition book. There’s more chapter review questions, but I haven’t noticed much difference outside of that. We really need a review book that contains more eponyms and topics found on COMLEX. There’s quite a bit of material that wasn’t explicitly taught in school.

⭐ This text is extremely helpful throughout the academic year and in COMLEX preparations. There are number of practice problems at the end of each chapter and online too. That being said, there are an exceptional number of typos in this book– nothing that is blatantly wrong from a content standpoint, but simple words spelled incorrectly. You would think a spell-check processor would be used before sending this to print and charging $50 for it.

⭐ This version seems to be exactly the same as the earlier editions. No updated diagrams or pictures. Mine also didn’t have a scratch off on the inside cover to unlock the extra practice questions which is a major reason I pirchy this in the first place. Just buy the older edition to save money and still get the simple explanations to study

⭐ Great book – similar to older version. Code does not work, you may need to reach out to customer service and obtain a new one with proof of purchase.
