• In the contemporary arena of medical certification, board examinations administered by the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) have become increasingly difficult. Medical students and international medical graduates are constantly on the lookout for a concise book in every subject, including epidemiology and biostatistics, to facilitate preparation for these examinations. The right kind of review must be broad in scope to permit attention to the important aspects of each discipline, yet concise enough to facilitate learning within time constraints. The United States Medical Licensing Examinations (USMLE) Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 have been designed to measure comprehensive knowledge and the ability to apply that knowledge clinically. The NBME recommends that the most appropriate preparation is a general and thorough review of the basic and clinical sciences. Most of the books written on the topics of epidemiology and biostatistics exceed 300 pages in length. They lack the brevity that time constraints necessitate in the burgeoning curriculum of the medical examinee. Because questions pertaining to epidemiology and biostatistics appear in all three steps of the USMLE, our endeavor is to introduce a short, concise review book that (1) clearly gets to the point on the essential material, (2) presents core material clearly and succinctly in a medically relevant and clinically understandable format, and (3) most important, tests the reader with board types of questions both within the topic discussions as well as in a separate timed examination.
