About the Diagrams

I made this chart during my second year of medical school and found that challenging coagulation questions became simple once I'd internalized it, I became incredibly confident with every coagulation question I encountered. The material presented is appropriate for first and second year medical students who are preparing for the USMLE Step 1 or COMLEX Level 1 exams, or other student from the health professions.

Note: Each solid black arrow leads to the result of whatever reaction is catalyzed. Dotted arrows lead from a reactant to a product. Pink arrows show what is being destroyed in the reaction.
