For some reason, these books do not get the respect they deserve around the internet. Before I bought these, did some research, and many people were not recommending. I, however, definitely recommend. Basically, these books are a "teaching version" of the first-aid usmle step 1 book. You can actually learn stuff as opposed to just reading bullet points like in first-aid usmle. Since I have many professor presenting information in many different ways, it is nice to come to this book and have a consistent presentation of all the material. I don't think these would make good review books, but just like the books mention in the first few pages, these books should be used as a companion during your first two years. I would not replaced first-aid usmle. There are a few things that are in first-aid usmle not in here, but at the same time many things in here are not in first-aid usmle. They go well with each other. (I also use pathoma in addition to the 3 books). Only down side: the books use the thinnest paper I have ever seen. You actually need to make some effort to not tear pages while annotating...o well...

They're also great for providing a solid, concise understanding of the embryology, anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology of organ systems. For the nurse practitioner, if you want to expand your understanding of medical science and be able to converse with physicians on a highly technical level, which we should be able to do, then these books are for you!! Personally, I think NP programs (especially at the DNP level) should incorporate these subjects into the curriculum!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,235,590 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,874 in Medical Test Preparation #2,573 in Medical Test Preparation & Review | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 199 Reviews | ## Images ![First Aid for the Basic Sciences General Principles / First Aid for the Basic Sciences Organ Systems (First Aid Basic Sciences) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fif6gi+jL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great! *by J***. on January 7, 2015* Great books!

The green one is more or less first year, the red one is pretty much gold in second. If you are about to start your first year read the green one over summer (well, do that or watch the Ackland video anatomy atlas). If you are about to start second year read the red one after you get back from your mission trip to Africa or wherever. You will thank me later. The regular first aid is of course a must as well, but that is way less interesting and isn't really designed for learning; it's a review book. These you can actually learn from. This plus goljan is a solid place to start. Cannot recommend these (or the video atlas) highly enough. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://chile.desertcart.com/products/1816659-first-aid-for-the-basic-sciences-general-principles-first-aid](https://chile.desertcart.com/products/1816659-first-aid-for-the-basic-sciences-general-principles-first-aid) --- *Product available on Desertcart Chile* *Store origin: CL* *Last updated: 2026-11-13*
