updated to not only serve you well as a study guide, but also to provide you with cutting edge,

Congratulations on your purchase of Obstetrics and Gynecology Board Review: Pearls of Wisdom will
help you learn some medicine. Originally designed as a study aid to improve performance on the
Ob/Gyn Inservice and Written Boards exams, this book is full of useful information.

conditions. Diagrams and charts given in the book should be useful to the students
in clinical learning. An attempt is also made to teach the relevant
• For those of you who love your e-readers and tablets, there is a portable, electronic version of
the book. You can also now fid us on “AccessMedicine.”
• This book is specially meant for MBBS and above students, to help them out for their practical

Goal
Our goal is to provide the reader with a book that can be picked up to quickly review a focused
topic or to study a summary of key concepts. This book provides high-yield, easy-to-read,
absolutely need-to-know information without burdening the reader with extraneous details.
This book is designed to arm you with the essential information required
Recommendation
• We recommend reading this book before the initiation of studying for the exam in order to
identify your strengths and weaknesses, during studying to help you focus on important
details, and at the end of studying to solidify key concepts.
Plan
• We will continue to combine the best educational tools—print and digital—for contemporary
emergency medicine practice as the best way to communicate what Emergency Medicine IS.
Access Emergency Medicine also includes the digital version of the 8 th edition, with online
searching of text, videos, tables, and illustrations.
Defect
However,no board review book can possibly cover the entire scope of
family medicine. Use these questions as a guide: what areas are
your strengths and what do you need to study further? Each
answer of the “Final Examination” is referenced in the book
so you can go back and review any topic that you might have
missed.
Comment
• We welcome your comments, suggestions and criticism. Great effort has been made to verify
these questions and answers. Some answers may not be the answer you would prefer. Most
often this is attributable to variance between original sources. Please make us aware of any
errors you find. We hope to make continuous improvements and would greatly appreciate any
input with regard to format, organization, content, presentation, or about specific questions.
We look forward to hearing from you! We enjoyed writing this book and we hope that you enjoy
