This book is an excellent companion to the Frontrunners Internal Medicine Board Review Syllabus, which remains the syllabus for the Frontrunners Board Review Courses that are held throughout the year. While designed with the boards in mind, these resources are nonetheless outstanding study aids for medical students, residents, and practicing internists who simply want the best no-nonsense and most realistic Q&A review of internal medicine in all of its subspecialties! .

This critical board review resource is chock-full of over 1,200 OF THE MOST REALISTIC INTERNAL MEDICINE BOARD REVIEW QUESTIONS YOU'LL FIND ANYWHERE FROM ALL THE RECENT EXAMS, because, just as important as knowing your stuff is being psychologically prepared. This book has also been popular in helping physicians make "connections" or concept links, so that "if you see this in the question, look for this in the answer." Having said all this, we also realize that there are individuals who have, over the years, grown weary of tedious self-study and who'd rather take advantage of a sit-down, "feed-me" style of board review, even if the Frontrunners' CD AUDIO SYLLABUS, SLIDE SHOWS and BOOK PACKAGES can just be ordered. For this reason in early August each year we continue to offer our more formal WEEKEND MARATHON REVIEW board review course which covers 18 hours of high-yield-only review for the boards over one Saturday-Sunday weekend. HMOs are requiring that their PCPs be board-certified, or, at the very least, board-eligible to come on-board and stay on-board In fact, the terms "board-certified" and "board-eligible" are increasingly becoming an integral part of HMO contracts and renewal criteria. Being board-certified, therefore, is no longer a luxury. To some physicians, it's more than just placating the HMOs or even maintaining one's practice. It's about personal challenge; it's about being able to call oneself a "board-certified internist"; but even more simply, it's about winning! We want you to win. However you plan to use this book, our greatest hope is that we help you achieve your goals and make your life, dare we say, a little easier? With greatest wishes for you, Bradley D.

Maran, Meredith: DIRTY, [San Franscisco] HarperCollins Publishers 2003
ISBN: 0-06-008622-X As New Condition

From the Publisher Venturing into uncharted territory, mother and award-winning journalist Meredith Maran takes us inside teenagers' hearts, minds, and central nervous systems to explore the causes and consequences of our nation's drug crisis. In these pages we get to know the kids, the parents, the therapists, and the drug treatment programs at their best and worst. We're face-to-face with seventeen-year-old Mike, whose life revolves around selling, smoking, and snorting speed; fifteen-year-old Tristan -- the boy next door -- who can't get enough pot, pills, or vodka; and sixteen-year-old Zalika, a runaway, crack dealer, and prostitute since the age of twelve. Combining powerful on-the-street reporting and groundbreaking research, Dirty is essential reading for every parent and professional who works with or cares about children or teenagers. Publishers Weekly Maran (Class Dismissed) was herself the mother of a teenage drug abuser; she learned the hard way that there are no easy answers to the questions "Why do kids use drugs?" and "How can we help them?" "Nearly two-thirds of the teenagers in America today do drugs before they finish high school-one-third of them by the time they're in eighth grade," and none of the current programs, from DARE to detention camps to jails, have worked. Maran studies three leading treatment approaches by following three particular teenagers in care. The Center Point adolescent program separates kids from their families and friends to break bad habits and focus on behavior modification. The Phoenix Academy program keeps kids connected with their community and uses small classes, individual mentoring and AA/12-step participation to target addiction. Drug Court combines monitoring by court professionals with an after-school program of group therapy sessions, sports and drug testing. Unfortunately, the bottom line with youth programs-and these are better than most-is that they're hard and kids don't want to do them, so they run away, and there's no enforcement of participation. Indeed, none of Maran's subjects stayed with their programs-they all lapsed. Still, Maran learned enough to make some recommendations for improving teen care, outlined at the book's end. This is an insightful, compassionate look at the mistakes we are making with our teenagers. Agent, Amy Rennert. (On sale Sept. 23) Forecast: Maran's book is important and timely. With the right publicity, it could get good media coverage and attract the attention of high school counselors and social workers. Harper SF has assembled an impressive press kit with suggestions for parents seeking help for their children; the book has garnered advance praise from Anne Lamott, Jesse Jackson and others. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information. Dotsy Harland - VOYA As a teen drug user and now the mother of one, Maran has a keen interest in understanding the murky and unpredictable world of teen drug abuse. In this study, she focuses on kids in recovery, following three teens of varying gender, race, and socio-economic background through three different types of treatment programs. The teens and their parents openly discuss with her their most private thoughts, feelings, and motives. Maran in turn gives her readers a candid and often disturbing look at what teens are thinking when they decide to use drugs, how the reasons are different for each of them, and how family dynamics play a part. Maran provides a short but eye-opening history of drug abuse in the United States and explores the differences between drug use, abuse, and addiction. She warns against permanently labeling teen drug users as addicts, pointing out that teens are often simply experimenting and that recovery programs modeled after those for adults might be damaging to their self-esteem. She presents five thought-provoking strategies that society can implement to keep teenagers from abusing drugs, and she also includes a helpful list of resources for parents. Rather than offering false hope, Maran's book will give parents and youth workers a fresh perspective and va Hardcover 24 cm.
