We are confident that this volume will continue to meet your needs. How to Use Board Basics The goal of Board Basics is to prepare you for the Boards after you have completed a systematic review of MKSAP 18 and its more than 1200 multiple-choice questions. We have combed through the MKSAP 18 content to produce a concise compilation of only the information that you will most likely see in the exam. The sections of Board Basics are organized to mirror those of MKSAP, making it easy for you to locate information within the 11 MKSAP subspecialty sections to further your learning on specific topics as you need. Board Basics is not a concise guide to patient care but, rather, an exam preparation tool to help you quickly recognize the most likely answers on a multiple-choice exam. Drug dosages are not included since they are rarely, if ever, tested. You will also see many sections in which information has been omitted because it is difficult to test or is otherwise unlikely to appear on the exam. Broad differential diagnoses are not provided for most problems. Instead, Board Basics focuses on the entities that have the highest probability of appearing on the exam as the “correct answers.” Critical points that appear on the exam are often presented here in isolation, stripped of context that is not relevant to answering a multiple-choice question. If you review these points shortly before your exam, you will have the best chance of remembering what you need to .
