Qayed Emad, Srinivasan Shanthi, Shahnavaz Nikrad. Sleisenger and Fordtran’s gastrointestinal and liver disease. Review and assessment

10th ed. — Elsevier, 2017. — 346 p. — ISBN: 978-0-323-37639-6.In writing this tenth edition of Sleisenger and Fordtran’s Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease Review and Assessment, we have been fortunate to work with an extremely talented group of faculty and fellows from our own division of digestive diseases at Emory University, and also from prominent institutions nationwide.
In this edition, we compiled all new questions that are board-style, case-based patient vignettes, with a strong focus on clinically relevant information. These questions test medical knowledge, clinical reasoning and interpretation, and problem solving skills. The new edition mimics the contents of the gastroenterology board examinations in content, style, and number of questions for each section, and each question has a single best answer. We avoided questions that have more than one correct answer choice, as well as “all of the above,” “none of the above,” and “all except” types of questions. In writing and editing the answers, we made sure every answer clearly explained the correct and incorrect answer choices, thereby making this book a stand-alone review tool. However, the reader is encouraged to review the main textbook for further information and to sharpen his or her clinical knowledge.
Another exciting aspect of the new edition is the availability of an online testing mode. An online test component can be taken in an untimed study mode or in a timed assessment mode. We compiled three exams (200 questions each, with four sections of 50 questions) that can be accessed in a timed mode to simulate exam settings. If you are thinking of completing these exams, we recommend that you do that first, as they contain questions taken from throughout this book. We hope you enjoy testing your gastroenterology knowledge using this book as much as we enjoyed writing and editing these questions.
