what's the best follow-along book for step 1 while I'm taking each systems course? I heard First Aid was good, but it isn't organized by system.

The second half of First Aid is systems-based, is it not? I'm thumbing through my 2007 right now, and it certainly appears so.

Yep, my 06 version is the same way. One has to go back a few years for an all subject-based edition. Be aware though the 06 and 07 editions are riddled with errors, so if you hear something contrary in lecture go with that.

I've also noticed some errors in the "Step-Up" book as well, like some reversed <,> signs for lab values and another in edocrine using alpha hydroxy instead of Beta 21 deficiency. So, they must be more that I haven's seen yet. Also, how does one check the spotted errors in FA, is there a web site where they might be pointed out?

To the OP, yes, the First Aid is systems based as of 2006 except they have a brief review of biochem and some others in the first part of the book.

Thanks for the heads up, guys! Seems like First Aid and Step Up are what most people are using. Anyone used both and think one is better than the other?
