Review quotes
Review quotes
"Over the years, I have read several editions of Dr. Stern’s Psychiatry Update & Board Preparation to study for shelf exams, PRITEs, board exams, and board recertification. This new Study Guide for Psychiatry Exams is an incredibly useful companion to the MGH Comprehensive Clinical Psychiatry, 2e, providing hundreds of new board-style questions. The annotated answers are exceptionally detailed. In many cases, one can learn as much (or more) from reading explanations about the incorrect choices as the correct ones. The preparing student who works this study guide in conjunction with the Psychiatry Update can expect to pass board certification and recertification…and pass comfortably." - Jonathan Stevens, MD MPH, Baylor College of Medicine
"Those looking for a practical, comprehensive and authoritative tool to study for psychiatry examinations or just to keep current in the field should look no further. The Massachusetts General Hospital Study Guide for Psychiatry Exams offers broad coverage of relevant topics and thorough discussion of each question and its answers. This book is a portable psychiatric exam preparation course from a master teacher. It’s a must-have study reference." -John Shuster, MD, Former President, Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry
