This book will help you! - As a practicing neurointensivist - this book is a great resource for the ACGME and UCNS boards. I used this book alone for studying for the boards and noticed that several of the questions were almost exactly along the same lines and type the boards used and asked. The images are similar to how they are portrayed on the test. Would highly suggest this book for all people studying for their UCNS certification/re-certification or newly certifying with the ACGME boards. Review: Good Review - There are some out-dated questions like hypothermia in TBI. Just make sure you keep up on the guidelines The book needs a Kindle update. Otherwise it does narrow in on high yield topics and also some esoteric things that NCS book didn’t really focus on.
