Sleep Medicine is one of the fastest growing fields of medicine and of strong interest to neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, pulmonologists, otolaryngologists, and the technologists who perform sleep studies. Almost all of the major medical centers in the US now have centers for sleep disorders. In 2007, sleep medicine will become an official medical subspecialty, with board examinations being administered by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Sleep Medicine: Essentials and Review will cover this new field by providing a book that can be used both as a practical, outline-style text for managing sleep disorders and as a "high yield" review for preparing for the sleep medicine board exam. In addition to the text, the author will include 150 board-type multiple choice questions with answers and explanations. Dr. Lee-Chiong is a major authority in the field and author of a comprehensive sleep medicine textbook.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is a very useful book that will serve as a good quick reference for clinicians and serves as a good review for certification examination in sleep medicine."--Doody's
"This comprehensive text is packed with information covering all aspects of sleep medicine...This book is very well designed as a concise review for the Sleep Medicine Boards-it is densely packed, making liberal use of tables and boxes designed to stand out easily. It contains abundant study questions with brief, clear answers. References are current, abundant, and well chosen." --Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
"The beauty of this book is that it speaks in the language of surgeons as well as ethicists...It should be a mandatory reading for every surgery resident as well as attending surgeon. In addition, medical students and students of bioethics will gain tremendous insight into the practice of surgery by working through this book." --Ethics & Medicine

Great "must have" for the Sleep Medicine Boards,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sleep Medicine: Essentials and Review (Paperback)
This is a great "must have" book which consolidates all the facts needed by an aspiring Sleep Medicine physician for clinical practice and for study. All the facts in this book has more than 85% of the information needed to study for the Sleep Medicine Exam! The text and study charts are easy to read and memorize. The 500 test questions with answers become great practice. What a bargain priced book! This book saved me time making notes...helping me pass the Sleep Medicine boards!

Excellent review, with lots of questions and detailed answers in the back. Excellent value - probably the best bang for the buck available for sleep medicine.

my review of sleep medicine: essentials and review,
By amazonian "andy" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sleep Medicine: Essentials and Review (Paperback)
I purchased this book for the purpose of studying for the ABIM sleep boards. I mainly purchased it because of the large number of review questions (600). Unfortunately, the questions aren't very good. Not a single question involves interpretation of PSG data! Hard to believe, but true. A large number of questions concern the question of which psych med causes REM reduction, delta sleep reduction, etc. Very dry stuff. I'm working through the questions anyway, but I found the questions in the ACCP SEEK (sleep) book to be much more reflective of the kinds of questions I think will be asked on the board exam (I took and passed the ABSM exam several years ago so I kind of know what to expect, I think).
