Residents will find the book essential in preparing for Part I and Part II of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Board Certification: * It is the only book to specifically focus on board-related material, providing a single source of current up-to-date PM&R, orthopaedic, neurologic, and general medical information. * Board "pearls" are highlights with an icon in the margin. These "pearls" are aimed at stressing the cinical and board eligible aspects of the topics. This format was designed to simplify preparation for the board exam. * The table of contents is modeled after the topic selection of the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPMR) Self-Directed Medical Knowledge Program used by residents nationwide to prepare to the Self-Assessment Examination (SAE). This will help all residents, PGY 2,3,4, in yearly preparation and carry-over from SAE preparation to Board Exam preparation. * The topics are divided into major subspecialty areas, each authored by physicians with special interest and clinical expertise in their areas and reviewed again by senior specialists in PM&R who specialize in these topics. Of Special Benefit to Readers: * Over 500 illustrations clarify concepts in the text. * Key concepts are highlighted, making it simple to find and organize important information. * The format is in outline form to increase accessibility. * Information is well-organized and topic oriented.
