“Overall, we highly recommend the newest installment Acing the IBD Questions on the GI Board Exam into our board exam preparation for fellows and recertifying gastroenterologists who already have clinical exposure to IBD management and guidelines, but may not see some of the more rare but highly tested clinical challenges in every day practice. As the authors emphasize, great clinicians are not always ready for the boards. It is most important to be a great clinician, but Drs. Spiegel, Karsan, Melmed, and Modiano will get you ready for the IBD questions on the board exam.”
