Very good product. Just the neccesary to have a good and wide review of all the topics concerning family medicine. Also have the option to obtain CME credits. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

i am taking family medicine boards for the first time soon and i needed a review book, so i bought about 4 of them! This book is by far the best. Good topic reviews. It is multiple question then answer with explantion style and very concise. Highly recommend it for family med boards.

Highly trained physician, modern technology office, up to date on all primary care USA practice approaches and recommendations are only few of their characteristics .
Well worth 2 readings prior to testing. February 11, 2008

For my review, I used the AAFP course (CD's over a few months), Osler's course and this book. Although the week-long courses were good and clinically relevant, this book really completed my review. I went through it once completely, and back again to review missed items. I have been out of practice and taking care of my kids for over a year and this book helped tremendously. Very similar to the boards. Very, very good investment of time and money.

I also found this $75 book to be more valuable than a $1000 "No Pass No Pay" Family Medicine Review Course. While that review course really delivered excellent information, little of it actually appeared on the exam. In contrast, this book contains questions very close to what you actually see on the test. Sure there are little mistakes and some annoying repetition of topics but nothing any of us could not get beyond. If you are not doing general geriatric and pediatric care or obstetrics, this book serves as a great starting point to explore the latest thinking. Similarly, if you don't do primary care, make sure to memorize the USPSTF and ACIP guidelines. Most importantly, do as many questions as you can from the ABFM website. I passed with above average scores but would have done even better if I had reviewed more of their sample questions. Good Luck.
