Description
This high-yield, illustrated clinical neurophysiology board review is a comprehensive resource for assessing and refining the knowledge tested on multiple board examinations. Written by authors who are collectively board certified in all of the areas covered, the book is a valuable study tool for candidates preparing for certification or recertification in clinical neurophysiology, neuromuscular medicine, epilepsy, sleep medicine, and neurology. Using structured question formats typically encountered on boards, this comprehensive review allows users to assess their knowledge in a wide range of topics, provides rationales for correct answers, and explains why the other choices are incorrect. A unique “Pearls” section at the end of the book allows for quick review of the most important concepts prior to exam day.
Reviews
I really wanted to like this book. I needed a good review for the Clinical Neurophysiology Maintenance of Certification exam, and this looked like the ticket. Unfortunately it is not. The questions are very poorly worded and in many cases the answers are simply wrong. Unlike the better review books, the authors do not provide clear explanatory diagrams or references. To be honest, I have only made it through part of the first chapter, and others may be better, but I am so put off by the inaccuracies that I am doubtful that I will spend much more time with it. I suppose this could be a good review if you have enough background knowledge to suspect the incorrect answers and go back to original texts to check, as I did in a few cases, but I really don’t have time for that. This book will require major revision if future editions are to be of any value.
