Review "This review fills a niche for residents, students, or practicing physicians who are seeking an accessible fact-based source to remind them of what they have learned in the past.It is not a collection of references for daily practice or board review, but it is an excellent supplement to a more thorough review of information.3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service (Doody's ) About the Author Tao T.Le, MD, MHS Assistant Clinical Professor Chief, Section of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Department of Medicine University of Louisville Christine Dehlendorf, MD Fellow in Family Medicine Department of Family and Community Medicine University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, CA Michael Mendoza, MD, MPH Clinical Assistant Professor Department of Family Medicine Pritzker School of Medicine The University of Chicago Cynthia Ohata, MD Clinical Instructor Department of Family Medicine University of Washington

The best customer reviews 16 of 16 people found this review helpful.Great review!Mears for very comprehensive book review for the boards.A lot of good tips and facts without being overpowering.I especially liked the Derm chapter, quite trenchant.18 of 19 people found this review helpful.Good review of the materials, but without the practice of Casey in the book When I first saw the book, I had the impression that he had some practical issues to go along with the material.This is not true.There are no questions in the book and the information provided in the different chapters and arranged almost in a draft form with many charts to supplement the material.I think it's important to do some study questions as preparation for the test, but considering that this is not the purpose of this book, I find it hard to fault the lack of questions.How information is presented - it is really well done.It launches a web big enough to hit the major themes and presents them in a way that makes it so you do not snooze off as if reading a book, let the lines fool you - there's lots of information this book.He loses some of the random esoteric questions that the family medicine board exam has but it gives a very good framework for the things you should know.For those of you who are taking the Family Medicine Boards, definitely do the practice questions on the site.They say that none of the real exam, but I found that many of the same information on the matters in practice is the real test.12 of 13 people found the following review helpful.Book reviews Recommended by S Oak This is a great book to read before the exam.It has lots of facts to digest and is well organized into topics and issues.This is a good review book for family practice certification and recertification exams.See all 9 reviews ....
