Hi. i first heard about Protocols from a posting on Medscape and bit the bullet in buying it to see if would be helpful in my review for my boards in November. though written in 2003 (new edition coming out 2/2008), i did find it helpful to augment study with Up To Date, Compendium (this book utilized the ACOG Practice Bulletins, etc), etc. it is alphabatized by topics and provides salient (in a nut-shell) info one should know, though these topics are not sectioned by GYN, OB, REI, ONC, etc and no pics are present, unfortunately. some very good tables and algorithms, particularly cardiac disease in pregnancy, breast disorders, etc. it also has a section on Boards in the back --these topics apparently are historically popular, but i wasn't asked much from there. i think the book would be helpful for boards study as an additional, but not sole, resource. i also think it would come in handy in day to day practice. the author has an interest (or has in the past) in working with ob/gyns trying to get boarded.

We have a very large single-speciality OBG group. I was able to use these with very little editing! That says volumes about the book.
