Neurosurgery Board Review Book Designed to Promote Quick Review and Memory Retention
New York, NY, January 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- In order to become a board certified neurosurgeon, individuals must pass both a written and oral examination administered by the American Board of Neurological Surgery (ABNS). The primary examination is given once-a-year. Published by Thieme, the second edition of the Comprehensive Neurosurgery Board Review assists readers in preparing for the written section of the examination. This fully updated text is a one-stop resource providing focus to the often daunting task of preparing for a career critical exam. And while the title is self-explanatory, the book is more than a reference for individuals preparing for the ABNS examination.
“We have removed redundancy within and between chapters as much as possible and reformatted the text to promote quick review and memory retention,” states author Dr. Daniel Refai, Chief Resident, Department of Neurosurgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Barnes Jewish Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri.
In less than 600 pages, this edition summarizes key facts on the neurosurgery boards, thereby saving readers the challenge of having to wade through thousands upon thousands of pages of the original texts. The authors have added a considerable amount of information to the new version, including a chapter covering anatomy that has been enhanced by the use of tables and the more than 30 images taken from the award-winning Thieme Atlas of Anatomy Head and Neuroanatomy series.
Author Dr. Jonathan S. Citow, whose name is synonymous with board review preparation in the neurosurgery world states, "The book provides summary information for the senior resident and practicing neurosurgeon preparing for the boards. For those of us who have been in practice for years and want to keep up with the residents, the book provides a refresher course and serves as a quick reference for the neurosurgeon whose daily practice does not typically involve the full breadth of the field."
