Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Pediatrics Board Review is a concise yet thorough review of pediatrics for pediatricians taking the pediatric board certification exam or recertification exam. This text is an outline-format, fact-filed, user-friendly review filled with exam-taking pearls to adequately prepare the exam-taker. Each year 200 new pediatric residents take the pediatric board exam and currently there is only one pediatric board review text on the market. The American Board of Pediatrics recently changed the requirements for the pediatric recertification process. Now, all board-certified pediatricians (roughly 70,000) need to take a closed- book exam once every 7 years (that means around 10,000 pediatricians a year will take the test). Therefore, they will need a review text.

  • This text is an easy read for the busy pediatrician
  • Contains test-taking hints and strategies; "alerts" stress questions that consistently appear on the exam
  • Successfully "field tested" by a group who recently took the exam
  • The book is all outline text, with boxed "Pearls" appearing on most pages

By the end of my pediatric board exam studying, I found myself using this book quite a bit. I'd give it 3.5 stars (I rounded up). After doing almost 5 years of PREP questions, I realized that this book is very high yield. There ... Read More
