What's the best (combo of high-yield, efficiency, etc.) Pharm resource out there for Step 1? Browsing the forums, I've heard Kaplan videos, flashcards (Lange's or Lippincott's), and First Aid only.

The material is high yield enough for it to matter little except to those shooting for the moon. Once you get through FA/UW, you'll pick out enough of the errors for it to not matter much anyway.

What is the definitive resource? I'd hate to be going through one resource and learning side effects only to find out that it's full of errors.

Yeah any resource that has a notable amount of errors in it just isn't worth it IMO. I'd rather not bother with Lange if there are equivalent flash cards and 2 other great resources besides.

I was only asked about one drug outside of First Aid and I had actually covered that drug in my class....and I still got it wrong. First Aid has everything you need to break 260. Know the side effects especially well.

Yea +1. First Aid is pretty comprehensive for our purposes, and *mostly* well validated through student feedback over the years.

+1. I literally only used FA + uworld and no other resources, missed 0 pharm questions.

Great input guys, thanks. Keep it coming.

I'll probably end up doing First Aid, supplemented with Kaplan lectures. My PBL curriculum makes it very hard to learn Pharm, and I feel like I don't even have the basics down yet (hence the lectures).
