Gastroenterology and hepatology encompass a vast anatomical assortment of organs that have diverse structure and function and potentially are afflicted by a multiplicity of disease processes. This book is designed to assist both physicians in-training who are preparing for the gastroenterology board examination and the increasing number of gastroenterologists awaiting recertification. It is not intended to replace the many more encyclopedic textbooks of gastroenterology, hepatology, pathology, endoscopy, nutrition, and radiology now available. Nor is it intended to serve as an “update” to physicians looking for the newest advances in the science and art of gastroenterology and hepatology. Instead, the book provides a core of essential knowledge in gastroenterology, hepatology, and integral related areas of pathology, endoscopy, nutrition, and radiology. Clinical knowledge related to diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to patient management is emphasized. Case-based presentations and short board examination-type, single-best-answer multiple-choice questions with annotated answers are featured. This text also is intended to be used by medical students and residents during their clerkships in internal medicine and gastroenterology and by gastroenterology fellows in training. Physicians in practice should find this book to be a practical review for consolidating their knowledge in gastroenterology and hepatology. ...Less

The vast amount of available knowledge necessitates a committed effort by editors and authors to highlight the new developments while reinforcing the core principles of medicine. To assist physicians in this ongoing challenge, the Department of Internal Medicine at Mayo Clinic remains committed to providing continuing professional development to physicians in a timely manner. Mayo Clinic Internal Medicine Board Review, 9th edition, is designed to meet the needs of physicians who are in training and practicing clinicians by updating their knowledge in internal medicine and preparing them for the American Board of Internal Medicine certification and maintenance-of-certification examinations in internal medicine. The book is divided into subspecialty topics, and each chapter or subsection of a chapter is written by authors with wide clinical expertise in the area.
