Acing the hepatology questions on the GI board exam; the ultimate crunch-time resource.

Acing the hepatology questions on the GI board exam; the ultimate crunch-time resource.

Spiegel, Brennan M.R. and Hetal A. Karsan.

Spiegel (gastroenterology, U. of California, Los Angeles) and Karsan (gastroenterology, Emory U.) review knowledge in the area of hepatology for those taking the American Board of Internal Medicine Gastroenterology Board exam. Providing new questions to round out the liver content from their Acing the GI Board Exam: The Ultimate Crunch-Time Resource, they review both traditional and newer knowledge and draw from their clinical practice and teaching to focus on what readers may not know (instead of reviewing what they already know) through 95 high-yield clinical vignettes, detailed answers, explanation of why the topic might be on the test, images, links to clinical thresholds, and pearls. A list of 60 board review clinical threshold values and a self-test are included.
