AB We  have  been  gratified  by  the  response  we  have  received  since  taking  over  the  helm  of  Ganong's  Review  of  Medical  Physiology  with  the  23rd  edition,  and  now  with  two  additional  editions  under  our  belt.  It  has  been  our  goal  to  reorganize  and  update  this  venerable  resource,  while  maintaining  the  features  of  the  book  that  gave  it  such  an  important  place  in  the  worldwide  marketplace  for  physiology  texts  for  the  22  editions  produced  by  the  extraordinary  Professor  Fran  Ganong.  We  have  paid  particular  attention  to  overhauling  the  graphical  aspects  of  the  volume  to  aid  in  consistency  among  chapters  and  to  take  advantage  of  its  new  full-color  format  and  have  added  new  pedagogical  features,  such  as  clinical  correlations  and  therapeutic  highlights.  Throughout  our  endeavors  to  uphold  Professor  Ganong's  unique  perspective  we  have  noticed  that  the  book's  comprehensive  nature  reduces  its  utility  as  a  tool  to  review  physiology  content  in  preparation  for  Step  1  of  the  United  States  Medical  Licensing  Exam  (USMLE).  We  also  felt  that  the  current  edition  could  be  improved  with  supplemental  resources  with  which  students  can  assess  their  own  mastery  of  the  content.
