Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The previous two reviewers gave this book both stars. However, as a senior PM&R resident about to finish my residency I can tell you that this book is one of the most popular board review books being used by U.S. residents.
Obviously popularity does not win every contest, however, what this book does do is concisely organize the admittedly vast field and bring out frequently asked questions both from the standpoint of clinical care as well as board type questions which are totally different.
The book is organized into an outline format, with "high yield" points labeled with symbols next to them. All major physiatric topics are covered, some to a lesser degree than others. However, the assumption is that since this is a Board Review, those subjects which carry less weight in terms of questions have less pages devoted to them.
If you are looking for a Board review, I believe this book is currently a good tool to use. The Braddom textbook is too wieldy for the purpose of board studying and one has to filter through too many questions; PM&R Secrets does contain good material however much of it is not board specific and is written in a way that does not lend itself to studying.
The book is a bit rough around the edges. Its outline style makes it concise but at the same time a bit jumpy. As a previous reviewer pointed out it may have a few slightly outdated points but again, for *Board Purposes*, this field has not changed enough to make them drastic points of conflict.
Take what you will from this review. I have no affiliation with the writer or the editor.
