Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY (BECKMAN)) Paperback – Bargain Price, December 19, 2005

4.3 out of 5 stars 16 ratings

Established as a standard core textbook for the OB/GYN clerkship, Beckmann's Obstetrics and Gynecology is now in its thoroughly updated Fifth Edition. This edition follows the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics' newest Educational Objectives, which are listed at the front of the book and correlated specifically to each chapter.

Over 2,200 up-to-date study questions and answers are included both in the book and on a free bound-in CD-ROM. A new two-color art program makes the illustrations more vivid and effective. Updated coverage includes new material on healthcare for women and medical and surgical conditions of pregnancy.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for students

    As a medical student in clinicals I found this book very helpful. The attending for my OB/Gyn rotation highly recommended it. It's an easy read and explains things well without being too wordy or detailed. It has a ton of questions at the end of the book, divided into chapters for review. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because I did notice that a few of the questions are incorrect. I would find the answers in the chapter to be different than those in the back. This didn't happen often, but enough to make me second-guess the accuracy of some of them. Overall a great book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but at times frustrating
    Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2008

    I bought this book because it was a known fact that our attending pimped students according to the material covered in each of its chapters.
    However, I soon learned that Beckman's is one of those medical books that tries to incorporate every fact into its chapters, but it does so by simply stating the fact. That is, the book would mention a procedure or disease process, but would not expand on it, it would simply list the process or procedure and move on. The book also tends to cover alternative procedures almost to a tertiary level without completely expanding on the first option presented. This is useful if you want a complete index so you can claim that the book covers everything. But when you are being questioned by an attending on the pathologies or reasoning behind a procedure, it makes you look quite stupid if all you can do is rattle off a list.
    I understand that most medical books need to be cross-referenced with others. But I believe in this scenario, Hacker and Moore's book is MUCH better. It covers all topics presented in Beckman's but explains why you do what you would do. I recommend comparing the two books before selecting one. I bought beckmans, but I constantly reread the Beckmans chapter with the hacker and moore I found in the school library. This allowed me to make a killing when being pimped. Both books are pretty easy to read. I would, however, say hacker and moore is even easier in terms of chapter layout and topics covered.

    If you're going into OB/Gyne, you'll need more than just this Jr/Sr med student level book.

    But, if you're not, I've kept this as a reference & found it concise & well written for reading during OBG clerkship. Would recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Obstetrics and Gynecology by Beckman
    Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2006
    -easy to read, with short chapters-got through this twice on my rotation

    -excellent diagrams and tables

    -not sharp enough to pick up on ANY factual errors like yellow leaf

    -good conceptual introduction to general OB/GYN

    -explanation for answers are sparse, but at this level you should realize that you should read from different sources, you should be able to fill in the blanks, and you should be using other questions books

    -supplemented with HY OB/GYN, Case Files, Pre-Test, and Blueprints Q&A to prepare for the shelf

    -overall would recommend Beckman, HY, and Pre-test as minimal for shelf. Case Files was ok, but HY covered most of the points and I felt the clincal vignettes in HY was better for teaching you how to think like an OB/GYN. Blueprints was comparable to Pre-Test.

    -for those looking for a more rigorous text, I felt NMS was better at explaining things in terms of basic science. And the questions weren't half bad (although I only went through about 1/3 of them). For this reason, those starting out thrid year with OB/GYN should consider using NMS.

    I found this book to be a wonderful supplement to everything I learned on my ob/gyn rotation. Everything I needed was in this book for my end of rotation exam on which I scored very well. I would highly recommend it.
