At the same time these resources are outstanding study aids for medical students, residents, internists, and other health care professionals who simply want the best no-nonsense review of internal medicine. The course has been widely and enthusiastically received for its unconventional, no-nonsense approach to the review of internal medicine. Unfortunately, thousands of physicians, wanting to be board-certified, are simply unable to attend a formal board review course due to! time or geographic constraints. For those physicians especially this book will be a welcome review. All major subsections of the exam have been represented with each section bearing its own chapter. Aren't you tired of reading and rereading (or even falling asleep!) amid long-winded paragraphs from standard textbooks that never make it clear what's important to know for the exam? So were we, and that's how this syllabus core review came into being. This book is completely outlined, so that the relationship between concepts is crystal clear--no more guessing! You'll also find tons of key mnemonics you'll definitely be using on your exam, along with contributive formatting through the use of bolds, underlining, italics, boxed-in points, and of course, the *** STARRED ITEMS *** to help call your attention to particularly important material, an outstanding way to capitalize on those last few hours before your exam. A thorough and realistically designed Index section makes those look-ups, whether throughout your studies or just before! your boards, a cinch! Having said all this, we also realize that there are individuals who have, over the years, grown weary of tedious self-study and who want to take advantage of a sit-down, "feed-me" style of board review, with all the same core material, slides, cases, and more, even if the syllabus core review can come to them. For this reason we continue to offer our formal / sit-down board review course each year. This is an intensive, 18-hour, HIGH-YIELD-ITEMS-ONLY WEEKEND MARATHON REVIEW, offered each year in early August--ideal for most physicians who can't break away during the week. For upcoming dates or to register for any of these WEEKEND MARATHON REVIEWS, or to order 1) TURBO MNEMONICS FOR THE BOARDS, featuring > 400 anagrams and other mnemonics to markedly improve the efficiency of your board review studying; or 2) the Q&A REVIEW, featuring over 1300 realistic Q&A, see the "Quick Order Form" at the very end of this book or just call 866-MDBOARDs (866-632-6273) NOW to order or find out more.

INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR: In a recent INTERVIEW, Dr Mittman was asked about his philosophies on board review and how he feels Frontrunners has changed the field of medical board review for the INTERNAL MEDICINE BOARDS. He listed his philosophies this way: "Our slogan `FRONTRUNNERS--When all you wanna know is what you GOTTA know!' really tells it all." He went on to say, "Frontrunners is all about respect--respect for the physician's time and intelligence." Gone are the days of "the 800 pound gorilla", better known, from this day forth, as "the 800 page gorilla", meant to signify books that are just so big and cumbersome that they need review books FOR their review books! Larger books have fallen by the wayside, but have served their purpose well as support legs on drafting tables and heavy weights for dumbbells, pardon the pun." "In truth, the students themselves, we've found, are usually incredibly bright and highly motivated--they're just looking for SOMEONE to take the time to say, "We've done the research already for you and know the questions and the answers to the last 10 years of exams. Here it is. Just know it!" Today's student is seeking a more MODERN, stream-lined approach to board review. And she certainly doesn't want her intelligence insulted. We've found that if you treat a doctor like a monkey, he regresses to a monkey. If you treat him like a genius, he will become the genius and his board scores will reflect accordingly." Dr Mittman went on to say that, in the end, students just want to know what they GOTTA know. They want to know what's been on the exam lately. They don't just want an "internal medicine update". "There are luxury courses for that", Dr Mittman went on to say. "We've created all of our board review products...for the Internal Medicine Boards with the following criteria in mind: "What would I want in a review book?" The answer inevitably is what every busy physician seeks: 1) something CONCISE! ; 2) something that reflects RECENT & ACTUAL exam content; 3) something that is thorough, where you don't have to juggle 3 books at once; 4) something that does not insult his intelligence; and 5) something that offers memory aids. This recipe has proven highly successful for Frontrunners and, of course, its students' unparalleled pass rates. Average Rating:

Read More Rating: - Outstanding, Unique Review Course SyllabusMy partner and I studied together this time, as we'd both missed the mark terribly on several prior administrations of the exam. We both passed easily owing in large part to this book. (incidentally, we found the book samples far easier to read (translation: not blurry) and far easier to evaluate from their main site). The outlined and user-friendly layout of the syllabus, with its boxed-in/bolded/starred points really made a huge difference and we saw the starred points ALL over the exam. We also owe our success ... Read More Rating: - Recipe for success ...This is a must-have for the I.M. CERT exam. The starred items, my favorites, pointed to recently asked material, which made my studying alot more enjoyable. In my opinion, nothing comes close to Frontrunners' review. My partners used it for their internal medicine RECERT and were equally pleased. As for me, I wouldn't have passed without it. Make sure you get through it at least twice before the exam since there was a load of material on the exam right out of the syllabus. I also went hit all of Frontrunners practice ...
