BRS Physiology is an A+ resource in my opinion. I occasionally supplement with Boards and Beyond, but BRS gets the job done well.

I liked the full textbook version of Costanzo when we first learned it in class. The way she explains things is just perfect. BRS was not as great for me (using it in dedicated somewhat now) but maybe because it was talked up so much?

Just read the Big Costanzo book for Renal and the BRS book for GI

Costanzo is bae. If I don't understand something in little Costanzo Ill reread it in big Costanzo.

If you like videos physeo.com is a good resource. It comes w/ a downloadable pdf book to follow along with and the questions that he asks during his lectures. It's like just like Pathoma but for physiology.

I liked Mosby (actual author: Koeppen) for renal at the time, I believe. GI is just your normal physio book.

 

[Clarus]

Do you guys have pdfs for those resources?

I used Physeo in 1st year to learn it, and in 2nd year so far with boards and beyond as a supplement to basically all subjects. I recommend it. And I did Guyton/Hall practice questions from their review book. That book is really good for Renal, especially. If you use that, just ensure you read the answer because there are a few misprinted "Correct" letter choices (i.e. you may choose C correctly, and it will explain your correct answer, but may list B as being correct - just a few here and there).

Guyton is fire for renal phys, however it can get pretty convoluted if you are trying to learn foundational concepts.

hence why it's a review book lol

I agree that Costanzo full textbook is the best book to read when first learning physiology. It gives just enough detail to get a full understanding without getting distracting. Dr. Najeeb has some great videos on renal pathophysiology, but they are quite long. I did not use Physeo, but I have heard many great reviews for it.

Costanzo for textbook. Boards and beyond for physpath. Pathoma for path always.

Huh. I've been using Guyton as a first-year because my dad recommended it from his time in med school in the 70s (it seems to be the no. 1 physiology textbook used in South Asian medical schools, since my Desi professors who see me toting it around freak out because of the nostalgia or whatever). I like it, but would you recommend using Costanzo as a first pass and going back to Guyton for more in depth stuff? Guyton has seemed kinda hard to get through, but I thought that was just because physiology is complex.

 

[sakhir]

Costanzo for textbook and use Guyton review questions to get a good idea of how is your knowledge. I love this combination.

Guyton is dense bro haha I only use it for a reference text for a particular topic I want to know more about
