Sitaraman and Friedman's Essentials of Gastroenterology, 2nd Edition

Essentials of Gastroenterology, 2nd Edition will once again provide gastroenterologists and GI trainees with a highly practical and concise 500-page guide to gastroenterology. Covering every major disorder likely to be encountered during both GI training and in clinical practice, it is the perfect

preparation for Board examinations (e.g., USMLE and Internal Medicine Board examinations) as well as being a handy consultation tool when in the clinic. Every chapter will be fully updated based on the latest scientific information and practice guidelines. Each section covers a particular area of the gastroenterology tract and follows a standard outline of: general (background/introduction), normal physiology, etiology and pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, complications, prognosis, and treatment.

The emphasis throughout is on providing easy-to-assimilate information on each disorder through the use of key facts, concise, bulleted paragraphs, and a structure that lends itself to accessibility and point-of-care use in a busy clinical setting. In addition, over 100 Internal Medicine Board-style multiple choice questions allow users to self-assess their knowledge, a photo gallery provides a great visual element, and clinical cases throughout allow readers to identify with real-life clinical scenarios.
