Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Board Review

Description

This third edition of the incomparable review bible for the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Board Examination has been completely updated to reflect current practice and the core knowledge tested on the exam. Known for its organization, consistency, and clarity, the book distills the essentials and provides focused reviews of all major topics. Coverage is expanded in the third edition to include dedicated sections on pain management, medical ethics, and ultrasound that reflect new board requirements.

Written in outline format for readability and easy access to information, content is modeled after the topic selection of the AAPMR Self-Directed Medical Knowledge Program used by residents nationwide. To aid in information retention, “Pearls” are designated with an open-book icon to highlight key concepts and stress clinical and board-eligible aspects of each topic. The text is divided into major subspecialty areas written by authors with clinical expertise in each subject area, and content is reviewed by senior specialists to ensure the utmost accuracy. More than 500 high-quality illustrations clarify and reinforce concepts. The book also provides updated epidemiologic and statistical data throughout and includes a section on biostatistics in physical medicine and rehabilitation. In addition to its proven value as a resource for exam preparation, the book is also a must-have for practicing physiatrists seeking recertification, and for PM&R instructors helping trainees to prepare for the exam.

New to the Third Edition:

• Thoroughly reviewed, revised, and updated to reflect current practice and core knowledge tested on Boards
• Improved organization, clarity, and consistency
• Presents new chapters/sections on pain management, medical ethics, and ultrasound

Key Features:

• Board"Pearls” are highlighted with an open-book icon throughout the text to flag key concepts and stress high-yield aspects of each topic
• Models the table of contents after the topic selection of the AAPMR Self-Directed Medical Knowledge Program used by residents nationwide
• Authored by physicians with special interest and clinical expertise in their respective areas and reviewed by senior specialists in those areas
• Organizes information in outline format and by topic for easy reference
• Includes over 500 illustrations to clarify concepts
