Since publication of the First Edition in 1997, residents, students, faculty physicians and clinicians have all come to acknowledge the monumental impact that this book has had on global rehabilitation education. Rehabilitation residents and educators alike have embraced the novel question and answer approach, domestically and abroad because of its simple to follow format, its "straight to the punch" style and its ease of readability.
In the words of contemporary physiatric leaders: "PM&R Secrets has earned a prominent place in the hearts and minds of students of rehabilitation, nationally and internationally and has carved a well-deserved niche in the bookshelves of rehabilitation specialists".
More than just "another" medical book, PM&R SECRETS has earned acclaim and widespread acceptance of the general public and media. Is has been widely used as a simple, easy-to-understand "research resource" by leading television and movie production crews including the makers of the TV show "ER", who have used the book to research an episode on traumatic brain injury. Newspaper reporters as well as television and radio crews have found the book to be a simple and concise resource laying out essential fundamentals of PM&R.
Due to its straight-forward, easy-to-understand "min-textbook" format, PM&R SECRETS is designed to enhance the learning of physicians, therapists, psychologists, social workers and counselors that work to enable people with any disability. The format allows for quick independent review, group study, or study for written and oral board examinations. Book connoisseurs have wittingly noted that this volume is like a smorgasbord with many delectables and delights (questions and answers) that are appetizingly presented in small, juicy digestible bits. Due to its simple, non-stuffy style, the information is easily and quickly absorbed in small, flavorful amounts.
Bon appetit!
