Acing the Hepatology Questions on the GI Board Exam cover

Hepatology is an expanding field - it's hard to keep up. The liver has been sitting there the whole time, but the knowledge surrounding this perplexing organ is exploding; this makes it hard to prepare for board and recertification exams, where 1 in every 4 questions pertains to hepatology. Until now, there has been no single, slim, but high-yield volume that summarises the hepatology you need to know for the boards. This book has it nailed. The authors have collected every pearl of wisdom, high-yield factlet, liver ""board buzzword,"" hepatic micrograph, and classic liver imaging study they could muster, all while keeping the book a manageable size - because who has time for more than manageable when you're busy?

The answer to your study questions (and study time!) can be found inside: Acing the Hepatology Questions on the GI Board Exam: The Ultimate Crunch-Time Resource.

Traditional textbooks usually feature long and detailed discussions that are not directly related to Board and recertification exams. On the flip side, many Board review manuals provide lists and bullet points lacking sufficient background and context. Inside Acing the Hepatology Questions on the GI Board Exam, Drs. Brennan Spiegel and Hetal Karsan present time-tested and high-yield information in a rational, useful, and contextually appealing format.

With its focus on pearl after pearl, emphasis on images, and attention to high-yield "tough stuff" vignettes you don't know the answers to (yet), Acing the Hepatology Questions on the GI Board Exam is truly the ultimate crunch-time resource for acing often vexing liver section of the examination, taking recertifying examinations, looking good on clerkship rounds, or for just challenging yourself with interesting and entertaining vignettes.

“The clinical vignettes are succinct and followed by answers and explanations which provide not only the correct diagnosis, but also expand the understanding of other pertinent issues which should be considered with similar patients. Other helpful features are the illustrations and figures, which provide a visual aid to clarify key points and reinforce the concept being addressed. This book is a succinct, readable text that can help hepatologists and gastroenterologists prepare for and pass their board exam”

-M. Kyle Jensen, MD, MSc, University of Utah, Practical Gastroenterology

"This book has an interesting feature that I have never seen in any other Board review book. Each vignette is followed by a small "Why Might This Be Tested?" section. This a very useful feature for test-takers. This is a very useful book for anyone who wants to excel in hepatology."
