Riassunto

The Mayo Clinic Gastroenterology and Hepatology Board Review book has been designed to provide a review of core essential knowledge in gastroenterology, hepatology, and relevant related areas of radiology, pathology, endoscopy and nutrition to physicians, trainees and other persons caring for patients, gastroenterology fellows in training, medical residents, medical students, gastrointestinal assistants, nurses, and allied health care personnel. While less detailed than encyclopedic textbooks, it provides much more information than outline booklets. Clinical knowledge to enhance patient management, rather than the latest scientific advances is emphasized. For persons preparing for their board examination, certification or recertification, case-based presentations and numerous board examination-type single best-answer questions with annotated answers are provided. Abundant figures, images and tables are included. The faculty authoring this book are all Mayo Clinic gastroenterologists and hepatologists who spend most of their time caring for patients and teaching in a academic environment.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

[a] good text for young doctors aiming to become gastroenterologists or for physicians in practice desiring to consolidate their knowledge in the field. The language is clear and easily comprehensive, reflecting the teaching experience of the authors. [A]ll indispensable information is included here. (Digestive Liver Disease 36)

a practical, information dense book that delivers a good basic overview of the subject. The size, organization, and style of writing make it an easy read, and it thus makes the business of 'getting ready for boards' much more manageable. This is a book that is targeted to, and perhaps best meets the needs of, the fellow in training preparing for certification or a physician in practice who would like a 'refresher course' in basic gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition. (Practical Gastroenterology)

Overall, I think the book succeeds in a very difficult task. It is thorough and engaging, mostly stimulating and rarely frustrating. It is informative without being overwhelming and that is vital for those locked into a board review schedule. Bottom Line: Buy it for the exam but you will continue to use it. (Sean Weaver, M.A., Ph.D., M.R.C.P., Southampton General Hospital, UK)

emphasizes recent clinical knowledge related to diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to patients with gastrointestinal ailments. A useful feature is the inclusion of case-based presentations and short board-examination-type questions with a single best answer and explanations. predominantly a practical review to consolidate practitioners' knowledgeIt should greatly assist GI fellows preparing for the GI board examination aswell as the growing number of gastroenterologists awaiting recertification. The authors are all associated with the Mayo Clinic and, as such, credible authorities in their fields.
