Great free Neurology resource

OK, maybe you you are overwhelmed by the wide selection of Neurology board review books out there.  So why not start out with a freebie? Castle Connolly's Educational Review Manual in Neurology is available for free online. It offers 1,000 pages of tips and tricks for the boards, and searchable text, graphics and images. You'll want to at least give it a look-over before shelling out cash for one of the zillion other board review books available.

Check it out here for free, gratis, zip, zero, gratis: http://www.modernmedicine.com/ccgmp-neurology

UPDATE: Sorry folks. As of August 2012, this link is dead. If it goes online for free again, I will post the updated link.

Neurology Board Review Books, as promised

In the excitement over the Match and NRMP denial of service mess I forgot that I originally created this blog to provide a helpful list of best Neuro resources for residents. So, given that the title of this blog is Neurology Board Review books, I think we'd better get down to business!

We buy a certain number of books for our residents to have on hand. Some of them they select; others are chosen for them. We asked them to choose which board review book they wanted. What do you think they chose? Ultimate Review for the Neurology Boards? Nope. Neurology for the Boards? Not on your life.

They selected Mowzoon Nima and Kelly D. Flemming's Neurology Board Review: An Illustrated Guide. They describe it as really comprehensive with lots of useful illustrations. It's a bit expensive, but worth the money. They even use it to study for the RITE exam.

There are so many board review materials out there that it can be a little overwhelming. Next time around I will post a link to a free resource, so you can get your study on at minimal expense.
