Product Description
This book provides a comprehensive review for students and practicing physician assistants preparing for the Certification (PANCE) and Recertification (PANRE) examinations. Nineteen sections organized by body system describe common diseases in a consistent format: etiology, pathology, clinical features, diagnostic studies, and management. This edition is completely updated and includes new chapters on Environmental Emergencies and Study and Test Taking Strategies. A companion Website offers over 1,000 Board-format questions, which can be taken in Study Mode or Test Mode, and a 360-question comprehensive exam. Complete explanations of both correct and incorrect answer choices are provided.

 a good start February 8, 2008
This review is a good start for the PANCE, but it has some short-comings and flaws. The CD-ROM that comes with it is full of errors so be careful. If you are a first-time-PANCE-taker, use this as a supplement to other reviews.
 Excellent review... August 13, 2007
As a second year PA student, the CD provided gives a great review for our "blocks". It does have questionable answers without explanations yes...but that is where personal research will solidify probing questions. I think it is a great tool to utilize since it has so many questions included in the CD. When I only have a few hours to fit in a good review, this is where I turn! The book is also well compartmentalized. Would buy again.
Ok but not the best December 30, 2006

Buyers beware that this is not MAC compatible, so the CD ROM is basically uselesss to you...I have found it useful as coaster. Otherwise, the book itself is ok. It highlights the important points but you need CMDT with it. The cd rom really should be MAC compatible...I mean, cmon, it's 2007!!! Get with the program, LWW.
 Many errors in both the book and the CD February 20, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
After reading the first few sections of the book, I abandoned it for more accurate resources due to the sheer number of factual and typographical errors I had found. The CD-based quiz also contained many errors--including test questions where interpretation of an EKG was required, but an image of an X-ray was shown, or vice versa. Out of 8 image interpretation questions, I counted only one where the picture matched the question stem and choices. Also, many of the "explanation" windows for the test questions did not really address why each choice was right or wrong, but just added another piece of trivia about the disorder. I feel the editing of both the book and CD need work, and the explanations for the answers should be more detailed. At most, this item could be used as an outline for study, while using other sources to check facts.

comprehensive review for clinical medicine year courses, good outline review for PANCE/PANRE. Great opporuntity with the CD ROM to test yourself and "create" tests that specificaly target your individual area(s) of deficiencies.
