Synopsis

Mayo Clinic Internal Medicine Board Review, 10th edition, is designed to meet the needs of physicians-in-training and practicing clinicians by updating their knowledge of internal medicine and preparing them for the ABIM certification and maintenance-of-certification examinations in internal medicine. For the 10th edition, contributors were asked to map chapters according to ABIM goals. At least 50 percent of the material is new, with the remainder changed and updated. The redesign is intended to cover all ABIM goals while streamlining the text to make it more user-friendly. Large chapters have been broken up into smaller content-oriented chapters to facilitate shorter, more focused study opportunities. This book is divided into subspecialty topics (eg, allergy, cardiology, dermatology, etc) and cross-content topics related to general internal medicine (eg, men's health, women's health, geriatrics, etc). Questions and answers have been pulled from the main text to a companion book of Q&As to facilitate study.

Review:

"This outstanding text begins with reasonable, practical study preparation ... and then goes on to the reasonable, practical study methods [and] the practical management of the wide range of illness that a prudent Board Certified Internist might well be reasonably expected to recognize and then provide reasonable and prudent primary healthcare ... I plan to reasonably recommend this outstanding text to all of my/our student candidates for our ... our U.S.M.L.E. Step 3 as well as all of my/our resident candidates for Certification/Recertification by our American Board of Internal Medicine {our A.B.I.M.}. With humility and with respect I will further reasonably recommend this outstanding text to our candidates for Certification-Recertification by our American Board of Emergency Medicine, our American Board of Family Medicine, and our American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology." --Josh Grossman, Colonel, U.S. Army Medical Corps, M.D., FACP, U.S. Army Medical Corps, Johnson City, TN

"Robert Ficalora has applied his extensive expertise in graduate medical education, board preparation and adult learning with the talent and clinical expertise of many Mayo physicians to produce a focused, organized, well-rounded board preparation book ... the goals parallel the structure of the ABIM certification exam. The material is presented in a focused manner for the 21st century learner, with key points highlighted and many figures, tables, and diagrams. This is not only a content review for any individual preparing as a first time test taker or an MOC exam taker; it is a true guide for the individual, with great tips and words of wisdom ... I encourage my own residents to use it now and will use myself again in 5 more years!" --Stephanie Ann Call, MD MSPH; Associate Professor, Program Director, Internal Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA
