Book description:

Physicians who passed the neurology boards reveal what it takes to excel

First Aid for the Neurology Boards is a unique high-yield guide for success on the Neurology Boards, in-training exams, and recertification. Readers will find hundreds of frequently tested facts based on feedback from test takers who just passed the exam, along with mini-cases that are essential for board preparation. Unlike similar reviews, First Aid for the Neurology Boards covers must-know neurology and psychiatry topics in one complete volume.

This new edition is enhanced by an increased number of clinical images, a new section on how to prepare for in-training and board exams, more margin notes, completely updated coverage of movement disorders, and a web-based component linked to each chapter of the book that includes PowerPoints for residents to use during presentations.

  • Mini-cases highlight frequently tested scenarios and classic patient presentations

  • Written by recent test takers and reviewed by top faculty to assure the most up-to-date and relevant material possible
