Editorial Review:
This book provides a comprehensive review for students and practicing physician assistants preparing for the Certification (PANCE) and Recertification (PANRE) examinations. Nineteen sections organized by body system describe common diseases in a consistent format: etiology, pathology, clinical features, diagnostic studies, and management. This edition is completely updated and includes new chapters on Environmental Emergencies and Study and Test Taking Strategies. A companion Website offers over 1,000 Board-format questions, which can be taken in Study Mode or Test Mode, and a 360-question comprehensive exam. Complete explanations of both correct and incorrect answer choices are provided.

The CD-based quiz also contained many errors--including test questions where interpretation of an EKG was required, but an image of an X-ray was shown, or vice versa. Out of 8 image interpretation questions, I counted only one where the picture matched the question stem and choices. Also, many of the "explanation" windows for the ... Read More
Rating:  - great review
comprehensive review for clinical medicine year courses, good outline review for PANCE/PANRE. Great opporuntity with the CD ROM to test yourself and "create" tests that specificaly target your individual area(s) of deficiencies.
