 ALL YOU SHOULD NEED FOR PMR RECERTIFICATION March 19, 2009

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
i've been in private practice for 10years, but have been out of PMR practice for about 8 years. i used this text exclusively for the recertification boards and passed with flying colors.
if your primary goal is to pass the recertification board, this is ALL YOU NEED.
secondarily, i would think it is a nice quick referrence for everyday pmr topics.
 Good board review book February 10, 2007

This remains the best board review book for PM&R. It is too big to carry around with you, so you can only use it for home study. Choi's Pocketpedia is very good to keep in your pocket for quick reference. Cooper's Essential Physical Medicine has more information, is organized by the rotation you are doing (as opposed to disease topic) and also fits in your pocket. I prefer it for reading during a rotation. But, for board review, I recommend Cuccurullo. Some of the information is a little outdated, so watch out for errors, but hopefully, a new edition will be available soon.
The next best thing to Molnar' s text itself December 25, 2005

I just used this book to study for and pass the pediatric rehab boards. It is an outstanding summary of Molnar's Pediatric Rehab text since the Cuccurrulo pediatric chapter summary is written by Molnar's co-author Alexander. The peds rehab chapter is required reading for my rehab residents on their pediatric rehab clerkship. It is nice to finally have some well-organized comprehensive review books out there.
Well Worth Every Penny for PM&R Board Review! September 28, 2005
C. Young (San Diego, CA)
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I did not take the written exam in the typical manner secondary to childbearing and scheduling delays. Needless to say, my clinical exposure to many of the tested areas was limited since completion of residency. Consequently, I found it necessary to review and study prior to the exam. I found this book helpful in structuring my study time. It's subject contect was also complete. If there was an area in which the review book did not make since to me, I merely supplemented with standard tests. Otherwise, the review book was a sufficient resource for preparation. I would highly recommend it as I believe that I partly owe my passing score to the authors!
Good for boards only September 24, 2005

I found this book helpful studying for boards. It is a very large field to cover and the author stresses board relevant material with an "open book" icon next to them.
Unlike the previous reviewer, I don't think $150 is a bargain for a soft cover book. I would try to buy one used or get one from a graduated resident. Once you pass your boards you probably will never use this book.
I don't know what the previous reviewer means by a "real board review course" for orals. It would be better to have a study group and learn actively by going over topics orally rather than sitting through lectures and learning passively.
