Boarding Time: The Psychiatry Candidate's New Guide to Part II of the Abpn Examination

" "Boarding Time" is a superb book, written by two experienced psychiatrists. It is clear, full of useful clinical information and excellent teaching vignettes informed by warmth, compassion, and humor. Most psychiatrists would benefit from reading this book, particularly candidates for Part II of the board examination, residency training directors and all Board examiners."-- "Harold I. Eist, M.D., DLFAPA, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, George Washington University, Immediate Past President, Washington Psychiatric Society, Past President, APA"

"This book is worthwhile for its intended audience, though its time is limited, as the ABPN is eliminating part II of the board examination by condensing both portions into one test, complete with case-based simulations like those seen on the USMLE Step 3 licensing examination."-- "Steven T. Herron, M.D., (University of Arizona Health Sciences Center), Doody Enterprises, Inc."

Years of education, training, and experience are required to prepare psychiatrists and psychiatry residents for the culmination of their professional efforts: Board certification. Long a staple in the field, Boarding Time: The Psychiatry Candidate's New Guide to Part II of the ABPN Examination provides practical, systematic preparation for one of the most stressful events in a psychiatrist's professional life. This new fourth edition of the classic incorporates the authors' exhaustive review of the literature and extensive interviews with candidates and examiners. It also introduces written and video training vignettes that offer valuable insight into the examination process.

The authors intend Boarding Time as a help for all candidates -- whether they have just begun their preparations, have already reviewed extensively, or have failed the exam and must retake it. For those who have successfully completed the examination, this volume will continue to serve as a concise professional reference. Easy-to-read and filled with actual case examples, Boarding Time provides indispensable knowledge and support at a critical juncture in every psychiatrist's career.
