Description

Sleep Medicine is one of the fastest growing fields of medicine and of strong interest to neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, pulmonologists, otolaryngologists, and the technologists who perform sleep studies. Almost all of the major medical centers in the US now have centers for sleep disorders. In 2007, sleep medicine will become an official medical subspecialty, with board examinations being administered by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Sleep Medicine: Essentials and Review will cover this new field by providing a book that can be used both as a practical, outline-style text for managing sleep disorders and as a "high yield" review for preparing for the sleep medicine board exam. In addition to the text, the author will include 150 board-type multiple choice questions with answers and explanations. Dr. Lee-Chiong is a major authority in the field and author of a comprehensive sleep medicine textbook.

Reviews

"This is a very useful book that will serve as a good quick reference for clinicians and serves as a good review for certification examination in sleep medicine."--Doody's

"This comprehensive text is packed with information covering all aspects of sleep medicine...This book is very well designed as a concise review for the Sleep Medicine Boards-it is densely packed, making liberal use of tables and boxes designed to stand out easily. It contains abundant study questions with brief, clear answers. References are current, abundant, and well chosen." --Journal of Clinical Psychiatry

"The beauty of this book is that it speaks in the language of surgeons as well as ethicists...It should be a mandatory reading for every surgery resident as well as attending surgeon. In addition, medical students and students of bioethics will gain tremendous insight into the practice of surgery by working through this book." --Ethics & Medicine
