Reviews and Awards

"Junior residents are likely to find this book useful for clarifying areas where their knowledge is incomplete, as the authors have done a nice job of paring down the topics and providing simple explanations of the areas covered on the examination." - David B. Glick, MD, MBA (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine), Doody's Notes
