Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine Board Review, 1st Edition

Description:


The only review book currently available in this complex field, Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine Board Review is an all-in-one, must-have resource for preparing for the neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic medicine, neurology, clinical neurophysiology and physical medicine and rehabilitation board exams. Focused, high-yield content is provided in a concise, readable manner without exhaustive or unnecessary detail, helping you make the most of your study time and efficiently prepare for exams and clinical practice.

Features:

• Questions and answers are written in board-style formats, including case scenarios, high-yield facts, and questions on waveforms, pathology, and ultrasound images.
• Content covers all topics from the board exams, including genetics, clinical trials, and newly FDA-approved medications.
• Explanations are provided for both correct and incorrect answers and include numerous supporting tables, diagrams, and images, in addition to specially highlighted content such as high-yield facts, mnemonics, and key points.
• An ideal study resource for the ABPN and ABEM/AANEM neuromuscular electrodiagnostic medicine and clinical neurophysiology boards, as well as for physical medicine and rehabilitation boards and MOC exams, and during neuromuscular/EMG rotation and training.
