The Greenberg Rapid Review
Beschreibung:
Written by an esteemed educator and founder of the renowned Chicago Review Course in Neurological Surgery , this updated review reflects substantive content additions to the 8th edition. The two prior editions of the Rapid Review were must-have companions that fully leveraged the vast knowledge contained within Greenberg's legendary tome.
Through repetition and spot-on questions, this book brings clarity to a specialty whose sheer depth and breadth presents comprehension and retention challenges. This book helps readers determine if they are retaining key data and information, thereby providing a robust self-assessment study tool for ABNS certification.
The 7th companion generated glowing reviews, such as: "A wonderful example of how to turn the classic Greenberg text into a study guide rather than an encyclopedic reference to a young neurosurgeon" -AANS Young Neurosurgeons News
Key Highlights:
- Question formats include fill in the blank, open-ended questions, true/false, matching, and identification of various elements in diagrams/figures
- Mnemonic devices, helpful hints, clinical pearls, and study charts aid in comprehension and long-term retention
- Greenberg chapter headings are used (e.g. 4.2.3), thereby providing clear-cut Handbook references
- This book is designed to help neurosurgical residents prepare for the ABNS primary examination and/or rounds. It will enable practicing neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuro-radiologists, and neuropathologists to develop a storehouse of knowledge required to efficaciously examine, analyze, diagnose, and treat neurosurgical patients.
