Book description
Featuring more than 1,000 challenging, clinically relevant questions,
this book provides the preparation needed to succeed in the Neurosurgery
Written Board Examination. To help achieve the best results,
NEUROSURGERY BOARD REVIEW follows the exam's multiple-choice format and
includes referenced answers to all questions. The book covers all seven
sections of the exam (neurosurgery, clinical radiology, neuroanatomy,
neurophysiology, neuropathology, neuroradiology, and clinical
skills/critical care), providing a comprehensive review. The
first-choice board preparation guide for neurosurgery residents, this
unique book will also serve residents and students in neurology and
other neuroscience specialties. "This handbook is a comprehensive
self-assessment manual for all neurosurgical residents trying to juggle
the tremendous amount of information that is crucial to becoming an
excellent neurosurgeon as well as passing the written boards. The second
edition offers an additional 200 questions and answers...also presents
several anatomical dissections...which are very valuable in obtaining an
adequate understanding of surgical anatomy. The questions are concise
and well written and resemble the format of the boards. The format of
the book allows the reader to work through each section individually and
systematically to recognize areas of weakness. This is especially
valuable to the busy resident with limited time, who needs to focus on
areas in which his or her knowledge base is lacking. Packed with vital
information covering all major categories, this handbook remains an
indispensable tool for all residents and students of neurosurgery who
attempt to obtain certification by the American Board of Neurological
Surgeons." --Journal of Neurosurgery_x000D_ _x000D_ ''Designed for
board review preparation...It is a must buy for neurosurgical libraries,
not only for residents' use but also for the current information on
diverse topics in neurosurgery.'' -- Doody's Book Reviews Department
