Author Description

Primarily intended as a study aid, this text is structured in a question and answer format. Most of the questions are short with short answers. This is to facilitate moving through a large body of information. Such a format, while quite unlike the format used in the actual Board Examination, is useful to enable you to assess your strengths and weaknesses in a particular area. This allows you to concentrate further studies on areas of interest or weakness. Emphasis has been placed on distilling trivia and key facts that are easily overlooked, that are quickly forgotten, and that somehow seem to occur frequently on board examinations. The chapters are organised to include all aspects of gastroenterology and hepatology.
