Editorial Reviews

"Good resources for pain medicine board examination preparation have been hard to come by over the years. Pain Medicine Board Review is a welcome addition. One of our recent American Board of Anesthesia Pain Medicine Board examinees, a newly minted pain physician, found the questions in the book to be both high yield for the examination and helpful in terms of getting him more comfortable as he enters the early stages of his career as a pain physician." — Anesthesia & Analgesia
