Reviews
The author has done an excellent job creating a text that is uniquely formatted and avoids the inefficient approach to studying that some board review texts possess. The vignettes are clinically relevant, easy to read and encompass a large number of high yield topics. <br><br>-- Geoffrey Fillmore, DO, Gastroenterology Fellow & Duc Vu, MD, Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine, Department of Gastroenterology, Scott and White Hospital, Texas A&M University, Health Science Center, Temple, TX, Practical Gastroenterology
