Abstract

Aim of the book To help fill in some knowledge gaps for doctors preparing for the oral board review. Reviews and thoughts This eBook offers interactive reading in the form of quizzes. Every case consists of a patient description followed by self-test questions. The questions focus mainly on correctly diagnosing and managing patients. The cases also test for other possible diagnoses, specific clinical signs, and prognoses. After offering an oral response to a question, the reader clicks the answer button to reveal the book’s answer, which is clinically oriented and in the same format as the real exams. For residents, the cases are a useful way to practice important subjects and stay focused (or awake) after a long work day. It also provides for a good use of one’s commute time. We agree with the author’s belief that the case-based method is a valuable technique for learning and reinforcing core concepts. The cases and questions are written in a stepwise fashion, and the reader can practice the cases orally, thus simulating a real testing experience. The fact that these cases were written by doctors who are both experts in their fields and examiners on oral board reviews is a great advantage.
