A Must Have Resource June 25, 2008
This is a great tool to use while preparing for the Oral Board Exam. Read the content info first, but don't read the cases. It's most helpful to use as your own "Practice Board Review Course"..grab a study-buddy, number all the cases, and pick them out of a hat to practice in the true style of the Boards. Some are a little far fetched for the actual exam day, but those just keep you anxious enough to keep studying. If you master this book, the Boards are a snap.
I'd buy it again October 17, 2007
Preparing for the oral boards: this book has an easy to use format, appropriate for the boards, concise, not too much information, some of it is a bit outdated however. Each topic/disease covered has a section on clinical evaluation (s&s, ddx, workup), and rx/tx, and disposition recommendations. There are formulas and "pearls" as well for review (parkland formula, ped weight/bp, fluid maintenance, ct sizes, foley/ngt sizes). Plus there are 48 cases that you can go over with a partner, very helpful.
Great Cases May 13, 2007

This book is very helpful for those studying the oral boards. By far, the most helpful section of the book are the numerous cases. My wife, who is not in medicine, with a little coaching from me, quickly learned the process of how to administer a case, and we covered nearly all of them. I felt very well prepared going into the test.
My greatest concern with the book is that it really needs to be updated. Several of the therapies, meds, proceedures etc. are out dated. An updated edition is needed.
That being said, doing cases over and over is more important for preparing for the boards than is understanding current medical treatment of patients.
 Good practice cases January 31, 2007
Offers good pearls. At the end offers sample cases that can be practiced with a partner.
 lots of info January 13, 2007

There is a lot of information packed into this book, and about twenty practice cases. The practice cases are helpful only if you have a study partner who is also preparing for the boards so you can do them with each other in a board type format. It's hard to do in a community hospital setting when you're not studying with other residency grads. The info is divided by subject in an outline form and it's straightforward and seems up to date. It's hard to just sit down and read it though. The procedure pearls are a little more detailed than you might be asked but the random pearls were somewhat more helpful. Generally, it's most helpful if you are able to study with others. Alas, even though I read and highlited and did the cases, it didn't help me much...
