Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"This is the best board review book currently available for residents because of its easy to follow outline format, numerous concept-enhancing illustrations, level of detail that is appropriate for a review yet still conveys the essential information, and well-organized subspecialty divisions. This second edition incorporates the most current evidence-based information, increases the number of illustrations, and provides new information including biostatistics."

-- Brian Liem, MD (Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago), Doody's Review

Audience

It is intended primarily for PM&R residents and medical students, but it is useful to attendings as a quick refresher in areas they may not be as familiar with. It also would be of use to internal medicine and family medicine practitioners who seek a highlighted summary of evidence-based PM&R facts. The editor is a well-respected physician-educator in the field.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2nd Edition is essential reading for residents preparing for Part I and Part II of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Board Certification as well as practicing physiatrists preparing for recertification.
