The 1,000 generic questions with answers cover all the specialties that comprise the family medicine areas of study.

Audience:The audience is primarily those preparing for the examination. The author is a well known, practiced physician. Features:The book begins with how to prepare for and take the test. The book uses a quick read format with the questions and answers on the same page, arranged in columns so the answers can be covered while reading the questions. Assessment:This may be a help in studying for the boards, but readers cannot rely solely on this type of book as the waterfront is much more expansive than what is presented here. =Table Of Contents General Facts Internal Medicine Pediatrics Obstetrics and Gynecology Psychiatry Surgery/Emergency Care Geriatrics
