Epilepsy Board Review is designed as a primary study tool to help candidates prepare for the epilepsy board certification exam. Using structured question formats typically encountered on the boards, this book covers the base knowledge tested and allows users to assess their proficiency in a wide range of topics necessary to achieve subspecialty certification in the field of epilepsy.
This high-yield review contains over 360 questions with answers, detailed explanations, and references. The book consists of four parts that cover the phenomenology of seizures and epileptic disorders, basic EEG, diagnostic evaluation of seizures and epilepsy, and treatment of epilepsy. Liberal use of images illustrating specific EEG and neuroimaging findings enhances interpretive skills and facilitates translation of visual knowledge into the clinical practice of epilepsy. Questions are randomized and include both case-based and stand-alone items to familiarize candidates with the question types and formats typically encountered on an exam.
