Synopses & Reviews
The Cleveland Clinic Intensive Review of Pediatrics focuses specifically on preparation for the American Board of Pediatrics certification and recertification exams. It is written primarily by distinguished Cleveland Clinic faculty who conduct the Cleveland Clinic Foundation's successful and popular annual Pediatric Board Review Symposium.
The book is organized into subspecialty sections and sharply focused on board-relevant factual material. Bulleted lists, tables, charts, and full-color and black-and-white illustrations facilitate quick review. Most sections end with a board simulation chapter that contains exam-format questions with answers and explanations. Two mock board exams appear at the end of the book.
