Reviews

<br>This outstanding text begins with reasonable, practical study preparation ... and then goes on to the reasonable, practical study methods [and] the practical management of the wide range of illness that a prudent Board Certified Internist might well be reasonably expected to recognize and then provide reasonable and prudent primary healthcare ... I plan to reasonably recommend this outstanding text to all of my/our student candidates for our ... our U.S.M.L.E. Step 3 as well as all of my/our resident candidates for Certification/Recertification by our American Board of Internal Medicine {our A.B.I.M.}. With humility and with respect I will further reasonably recommend this outstanding text to our candidates for Certification-Recertification by our American Board of Emergency Medicine, our American Board of Family Medicine, and our American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology. <br>-- Josh Grossman, Colonel, U.S. Army Medical Corps, M.D., FACP, U.S. Army Medical Corps, Johnson City, TN <br><p><br>Robert Ficalora has applied his extensive expertise in graduate medical education, board preparation and adult learning with the talent and clinical expertise of many Mayo physicians to produce a focused, organized, well-rounded board preparation book ... the goals parallel the structure of the ABIM certification exam. The material is presented in a focused manner for the 21st century learner, with key points highlighted and many figures, tables, and diagrams. This is not only a content review for any individual preparing as a first time test taker or an MOC exam taker; it is a true guide for the individual, with great tips and words of wisdom ... I encourage my own residents to use it now and will use myself again in 5 more years! <br>-- Stephanie Ann Call, MD MSPH; Associate Professor, Program Director, Internal Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA<p><br>
