Anesthesiology Applied Exam Board Review is a comprehensive guide for preparing for the American Board of Anesthesiology Applied Exam, which includes the traditional Standardized Oral Examination (SOE) and a new Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) component. This guide is also a useful review for residents preparing for in-training examinations in Anesthesiology. The text contains over 40 long and short exam stems, with questions regarding the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care. Included with the book is access to the questions online for an e-learning experience.

Essential Topics and Cases for Anesthesia Oral Boards is a comprehensive review for those physicians who have passed the written Board examination in Anesthesiology and are preparing for the oral part of the exam. The text covers all major cases and situations that are likely to be encountered in a complex anesthesia practice and is an invaluable resource, both for the examination itself and the clinical practice of Anesthesiology. Organized in a case presentation format, each section focuses on the complications and implications of anesthetic technique, surgical procedure and patient illness, with essential topics and clinical points clearly and precisely explained.

The oral board exam for the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS) can be intimidating to many surgeons due to the broad range of information one must know for the exam. However, while the examination guidelines provide a general outline of topics that may be covered, there is no true direction on how to prepare for it. Traditionally, candidates do so by using what are considered “underground” databanks, previous test questions, and power point presentations that run the gamut of commonly covered material. Until now, there have been no current comprehensive oral board review books available for the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery boards. Oral Board Review for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery fills that gap as the go-to resource for those attempting to successfully challenge the oral boards and for residents to polish up on their training. Edited and authored by top physicians in the field, this book is concise and easy to read, yet thorough with high yield information. An outline of the pertinent material is reviewed, and a patient work up is presented. Important questions to ask, signs to look for, and labs/images to order are included. It also includes tables and keywords that are typically mentioned on the exam and also offers explanations to some key points. Next are cases, which are presented in a question and answer format. As the case progresses, more complicated scenarios requiring management are presented. Lastly, complications are covered, which is the final section of each board scenario. Included are basic topics the surgeon needs to know, followed by topics that are nice to know, and numerous highly debated/complex questions that are discussed among candidates preparing for the exam. It should be noted that the authors are not privy to any inside information about the exam. What is presented is material candidates that have successfully passed the exam feel is important to know. This book is not endorsed by American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons or the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
