First Aid for the USMLE Step 1, 2025 Edition

The 2025 edition of the gold-standard USMLE Step 1 review. Featuring over 1,300 must-know facts, enhanced summary tables, and the trusted student-to-student format that has made First Aid the most recommended Step 1 prep book for over three decades.

This previous-year edition is often available at a lower price than the 2026 release and contains the same core high-yield content. Most of the differences year-to-year are minor refinements rather than wholesale rewrites — making the 2025 edition a strong value choice for budget-conscious IMGs or anyone preparing for an earlier exam date.

What's inside:

• 1,300+ high-yield facts across all Step 1 systems and disciplines
• Detailed summary tables, mnemonics, and concept diagrams
• Boards & Beyond integration callouts
• Color-coded ratings and clinical correlates

Who this is for: medical students who want the proven Step 1 framework at a lower price point, or those whose exam date is in 2025 or early 2026.
