All major subsections of the exam have been represented with each section bearing its own chapter. Aren't you tired of reading and rereading (or even falling asleep!) amid long-winded paragraphs from standard textbooks that never make it clear what's important to know? So were we, and that's how this syllabus core review came into being. This book is completely outlined, so that the relationship between concepts is crystal clear--no more guessing! You'll also find tons of key mnemonics you'll definitely be using on your exam, along with contributive formatting through the use of bolds, underlining, italics, boxed-in points, an outstanding way to capitalize on those last few hours before your exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Internal Medicine Board Review Course 2005-2006 Exceptional, October 21, 2005

By 

David Weinberg - See all my reviews

This review is from: FRONTRUNNERS INTERNAL MEDICINE BOARD REVIEW SYLLABUS 2007! Core Review for the ABIM Certification & Recertification Exams (Spiral-bound)

My partner and I got the av-3 package from their www.frontrunners.info website in preparation for the August internal medicine board review exam because we simply had to pass. The package we got had this syllabus, over a thousand practice Q&A, obviously a huge plus on the exam, and the Audiovisual CDs from the review, which were the best we could find anywhere. We just got our board scores back from the ABIM and both of us scored in the top decile, 10, in all areas but one (which was the one chapter he didn't have time to read). Hope this information helps others who are in a similar situation, have to pass "or else", and are simply looking for the best internal medicine board review out there. Exceptional review. Four thumbs up in our case.

5.0 out of 5 stars This review syllabus is easily the best one I've seen., February 21, 2001

This review is from: FRONTRUNNERS INTERNAL MEDICINE BOARD REVIEW SYLLABUS 2007! Core Review for the ABIM Certification & Recertification Exams (Spiral-bound)

I've attended all sorts of board review courses on internal medicine trying to pass my boards and have accumulated endless notebooks and other syllabi promising to deliver me to the holy land of "board-certification". But that was all for nothing, because I never got any closer to passing the damn exam. I finally passed thanks to this Frontrunners syllabus. What made it work for me was the excellent mnemonics (I think I used all of them on the exam!), the straight-forward, outlined format, and the way the author clearly shows the relationship between concepts. The index made it easy for me to look up anything I wanted at any time, something I'd never seen in other course notes. I just liked the way the information is presented. It's easily digestable, and the best part was I actually enjoyed the learning process this time. Dr Mittman (the author) sets up the book, it feels like, with the reader in mind: special attention is drawn to the most important points, so that when the exam came, I was totally ready (for once). A lot of my friends who took the actual Frontrunners course and also passed the exam with me, told me Dr. Mittman's style as an instructor in-person was just as dynamic and no-nonsense as his syllabus. As a physician in private practice, that type of style is ideal because the little time I do have to read or study, I have to know that it's the best resource out there. The book helped me approach my exam with alot more confidence, but most importantly, it helped me finally pass the exam. My wife is as relieved as I am, cause she's sick of seeing all those old notes lying around that I dreaded studying. I would truly say that this book is a "must" resource for doctors who are preparing for their boards. I just wished I'd known about this a long time ago. It would have saved me A LOT of headaches and misery. P. Shah, MD (board-certified)

"14rajg" (Miami) - See all my reviews

This review is from: FRONTRUNNERS INTERNAL MEDICINE BOARD REVIEW SYLLABUS 2007! Core Review for the ABIM Certification & Recertification Exams (Spiral-bound)

Great syllabus! I got my copy 1 week before the exam after my partner recommended it. I'm sure I got at least 30 points from the STARRED (*) items alone, which I scanned the day before. That's a must. The Q&A book was also truly excellent. Even better, my Q&A book was free when I called Frontrunners for my syllabus. Excellent resources if you're aiming to pass your I.M. boards. I only wish I'd known about it earlier.
