ii Your Last Stop before the Boards medicine. Remember that Board Basics is not a patient care resource. Content Organization Abbreviations, spelled out in a convenient list at the back of the book, are used frequently to increase reading efficiency. Content is organized by topic and in consistent categories, such as Prevention, Screening, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Follow-up. Special components have been designed to enhance learning and recall. Look for: · Don’t Be Tricked: Incorrect answers that may masquerade as correct choices. · Test Yourself: Abbreviated case histories and answers found in Board exam questions. · Study Tables: Key concepts to prepare you for specific types of questions. · Yellow highlighting: We applied our own “marker” to call your attention to important phrases. Benefits of This Text For this edition of Board Basics, MKSAP 18 authors reviewed the latest literature and produced 11 concise text sections and 1200 Board-like multiple-choice questions. Next, the content was turned over to 13 carefully selected program directors, instructors, and professors of medicine with expertise in Board preparation and the subspecialties of internal medicine. These physicians culled the essential points from MKSAP 18 and added their insights to update the content of Board Basics. As Editor-in-Chief, I reviewed and distilled the MKSAP 18 text by eliminating overlap and excessive material to focus the text as sharply as possible. The end product is what you have in your hands—the best Board prep tool that you will find anywhere. We hope you enjoy it and benefit from your study. Best wishes on your exam. Virginia U. Collier, MD, MACP, FRCP Editor-in-Chief Board Basics For the fifth consecutive edition of MKSAP, we bring you Board Basics, the only publication that compiles the essen- tial facts and strategies for passing the Internal Medicine Certification and Maintenance of Certification (MOC) exams into one print book and e-book. We are confident that this volume will continue to meet your needs. How to Use Board Basics The goal of Board Basics is to prepare you for the Boards after you have completed a systematic review of MKSAP 18 and its more than 1200 multiple-choice questions. We have combed through the MKSAP 18 content to produce a concise compilation of only the information that you will most likely see in the exam. The sections of Board Basics are organized to mirror those of MKSAP, making it easy for you to locate information within the 11 MKSAP subspecialty sections to further your learning on specific topics as you need. Board Basics is not a con- cise guide to patient care but, rather, an exam preparation tool to help you quickly recognize the most likely answers on a multiple-choice exam. Drug dosages are not included since they are rarely, if ever, tested. You will also see many sections in which information has been omitted because it is difficult to test or is otherwise unlikely to appear on the exam. Broad differential diagnoses are not provided for most problems. Instead, Board Basics focuses on the entities that have the highest probability of appearing on the exam as the “correct answers.” Critical points that appear on the exam are often presented here in isolation, stripped of context that is not relevant to answering a multiple-choice question. If you review these points shortly before your exam, you will have the best chance of remembering what you need to know to do well. Knowing that most Board questions are prefaced with the words “most likely,” we have tried to be very directive, skipping important steps in the patient evaluation. When you see the words “select” or “choose,” think in terms of selecting or choosing a particular answer, not an intervention in the practice of mk18_boardbasics_FM.indd 2 09/20/18 7:54 AM This document is licensed for individual use only.
