This is a great book. When I bought it, I was expecting a "typical" board-oriented book (short on many clinical details). Surprisingly, this is a very good source for general review of gastroenterology outside the board preparation. It has all the general information needed at it is very current based on the latest evidence. You can use it as a stand-alone source to read for GI and its size is very manageable. text is clear and enjoyable with good tables and pictures.
Helpful resource

This review is definitely worth using to prepare for the GI boards. It is as well organized and comprehensive as any one source could be. I found it very useful and even answered questions that I remembered reviewing exactly from this book. However, I would recommend a supplementary review source as well, especially for color plates of histology and examples of esophageal manometry and pH monitor readings etc. Overall, a good source.
This is all you need

I can't tell you how valuable this single resource is. The text is imminently readable and the info is right on the money. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of confusing resources until I locked on to this book. Using it alone, with no other study aid, I passed the boards. I strongly recommend this book to anyone taking the GI boards or the recert exam. Tremendously helpful.
