Gynecology


Book Description

This book is a thorough and easy-to-use guide to gynecology for residents preparing for their CREOG and board examinations. Books available for gynecology residents are generally either clinically directed or academically based. The books in the first group are usually brief, suitable as handbooks for residents to use during daily practice. These books, however, do not provide adequate background information to prepare for CREOG or ABOG board examinations. The more academically-focused books provide detailed background, but do not offer simple and quick assistance during daily practice or studying. This book aims to provide the most beneficial parts of both products. Throughout, the material is simplified and well-organized to provide an excellent resource for clinical practice, with ample use of bullets and key points. The content is also comprehensive, providing the appropriate background knowledge and a systematic approach that makes it an excellent source for the board examination. Topics are divided into four sections: general gynecology, urogynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and gynecology oncology. Chapters then cover all major topics in each area, including uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, and genital infections. Each chapter additionally includes multiple choice questions for residents to test their knowledge of the material. This is an ideal guide for residents in OBGYN and practicing gynecologists looking for a refresher and quick reference.




OB/GYN Board Exam Secrets


Book Description

OB/GYN Board Exam Secrets is a high-yield reference, now in its Fourth Edition, that targets and summarizes what you need to know for your upcoming ABOG exams in 2021. For many candidates, board preparation is an intimidating "behind closed doors" process but this book, which has been years in the making, is the first to expose those well-kept secrets and is an absolute must-read. Your Qualifying and Certifying Examinations are not just another round of routine tests. The harsh reality is that most obstetricians and gynecologists have never even been exposed to an oral format, let alone been taught the best preparation methods for such an exam. It may feel like a game in which you are literally left to fend for yourself and ascertain the rules on your own. But in actuality, it is far from being a sport and the stakes could not be higher. This resource is definitely the most up-to-date, in-depth guide for taking these exams and is the perfect resource for residents and fellows alike, as well as for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists. That is because it takes information from a great number of sources, some of which are obscure and difficult to access, and puts it all into one concise, easy-to-read text that will save you countless hours of research on your own. Special thanks goes to Abby Morgan, director of sales and marketing for the Warwick Melrose-Dallas Hotel, for her generous assistance in furnishing the photos for this book.
