About this title

Review

...a very useful companion to the Mayo Clinic GI Board Review...excels in providing essential core information. The board examination questions and answers are educational and assist in board preparation. GI fellows and physicians preparing for recertification will benefit from the practical information available in this review book.
-Doody's Reviews

...[a] good text for young doctors aiming to become gastroenterologists or for physicians in practice desiring to consolidate their knowledge in the field. The language is clear and easily comprehensive, reflecting the teaching experience of the authors. ...[A]ll indispensable information is included here.
-Digestive Liver Disease 36 (for first edition)

...a practical, information dense book that delivers a good basic overview of the subject. The size, organization, and style of writing make it an easy read, and it thus makes the business of 'getting ready for boards' much more manageable. ...This is a book that is targeted to, and perhaps best meets the needs of, the fellow in training preparing for certification or a physician in practice who would like a 'refresher course' in basic gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition.
-Practical Gastroenterology (for first edition)

Overall, I think the book succeeds in a very difficult task. It is thorough and engaging, mostly stimulating and rarely frustrating. It is informative without being overwhelming and that is vital for those locked into a board review schedule. Bottom Line: Buy it for the exam but you will continue to use it.
-Sean Weaver, M.A., Ph.D., M.R.C.P., Southampton General Hospital, UK (for first edition)

...emphasizes recent clinical knowledge related to diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to patients with gastrointestinal ailments. A useful feature is the inclusion of case-based presentations and short board-examination-type questions with a single best answer and explanations. ...predominantly a practical review to consolidate practitioners' knowledge...It should greatly assist GI fellows preparing for the GI board examination as well as the growing number of gastroenterologists awaiting recertification. The authors are all associated with the Mayo Clinic and, as such, credible authorities in their fields.
