Full Description
Now in its second edition, Hematology Board Review has been thoroughly revised and updated to contain the latest information that fellows and clinicians need to successfully prepare for the Hematology Certification Exam administered by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The new edition now contains even more high yield board study content and review questions.
For the hematology-oncology fellow, hematologist, medical oncologist, or internist looking to review a given disease or blueprint category prior to their examination, this extremely practical study guide provides the pertinent points of emphasis that are often highlighted on the exam. Chapters on blood disorders and disease sites cover epidemiology, etiology and risk factors, staging, signs and symptoms, diagnostic criteria, indications for treatment, prognostic factors, treatment recommendations, and special considerations. Clinical pearls on other major subspecialty areas found on the exam include hematologic emergencies and supportive care, transfusion medicine, stem cell biology and hematopoiesis, cellular therapy, management of hematologic disease, complications after cellular therapy, and biostatistics. With 240 practice questions, detailed rationales, and a convenient print + digital package, Hematology Board Review gives you the tools to study your way and the confidence to pass the first time!
