This is a well written book. It's full of clinical information for day to day GI and hepatology practice. Obviously, there is no discussion about pathophysiology or basic science stuff. Every single line in this book is clinically relevant.The most important advantage of this book is the extensive use of QR codes that can be scanned by smartphone to access online contents. Each section has a QR code that directs the reader to the corresponding guidelines. There are QR codes for procedures which directs the reader to online videos.Although this book can be used for board review, it's not sufficient for that purpose.
Well written book. I used this book throughout my GI fellowship, and found it high yield academically and clinically. The book is easy to read, while offering a comprehensive review of various GI conditions. There are management algorithms and tables to guide patient care. It provides a quick summary of the landmark studies which every gastroenterologist should know. The most novel feature of this book are the QR codes. The QR codes provide easy access to major society guidelines and landmark GI studies. There also QR codes to videos highlighting various endoscopic findings and procedures. I would highly recommend this book to all GI fellows to enhance their training experience.
Outstanding book. High yield, concise, easy to read. Useful tables and flow charts. I found it to be a great resource in fellowship, and I am using it now for board review. The QR codes that link to both guidelines and landmark papers are really helpful as well.
Well worth the price. Very helpful on IPad and other portable electronic devices. Convenient and fun.I'm a senior GI practitioner and found this source inspiring. Hopefully updates can be added. The format is much more fun than up to date.
