Step Up to Step 2

Step Up to Step 2 is touted as the bible of Step by many medical students. However, the most recent edition is from 2007. Is there any plan for a newer edition at any point in the near future? Thanks.

Hi DroptheBop!

There won't be a new Step-Up to Step 2 for 2012 but we do have a new Step-Up title below that you might be interested in.



Step-Up to Medicine
Step-Up to Medicine is your lifeline for the clinical years of medical school. This book was originally written by third-year medical students searching for the perfect review book—not finding it on the market, they wrote it themselves! Now in its third edition, Step-Up to Medicine boils downthe full scope of tested pathology in a single ingenious tool. Each element is tailored for immediate content absorption, and an all-new full-color interior differentiate elements for even faster, more efficient review. And, Step-Up to Medicine, third edition provides two types of self-assessment—the kinds of questions you will ask yourself as a clinician plus USMLE-style practice questions. This review book gives you just the Step-Up to the medicine clerkship, accompanying shelf exams, and USMLE Step 2 that you need!

Also for Step 2 you might find the new edition of Boards & Wards for USMLE Steps 2 & 3 helpful.



Boards & Wards for USMLE Steps 2 & 3
Medical students and interns have no time to waste preparing for clinical rotations and the USMLE Steps 2 and 3. That's where Boards and Wards for USMLE Steps 2 & 3 comes in! Written in a high-yield outline format, it provides broad coverage of all the major fields of medicine tested on the USMLE and end-of-rotation exams.

Hope this helps and GOOD LUCK!

Hi Laura,
I hate to be so picky but are there any plans for a new step up to step 2 in early 2013?

Thanks in advance

Hi AlexP,

I do not have any plans for a 2012 or 2013 edition that I can share. When I do though SDN will be the first to find out!

We do have great new editions for the clerkship years!

Step-Up to Medicine
Boards & Wards for USMLE Steps 2 & 3
Essentials of General Surgery

Best of luck with Step 2!

Thanks lauraLWW!
I actually ordered the step up to medicine new edition in July, it was supposed to be released Aug 23 but for some reason still no delivery. Is this a delay from the publishers end?

Hi AlexP! It actually published on September 5. Did you order it from LWW.com? If so, I can make a request for a status update. If you ordered it from somewhere else, I hope it will arrive soon!

When you get a chance to go through it and let us know what you think! We love student feedback!

@LWW

I'm signed up for the Doctors in Training review course and it says the 2013 ed should be out ~May 1st of this year. Can you confirm or deny???

I ask because I have to schedule my Step 2 exam and want to make sure I get the new ed where the DIT folks are also editors.

Thank you!
