Editorial Review:Sleep Medicine is one of the fastest growing fields of medicine and of strong interest to neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, pulmonologists, otolaryngologists, and the technologists who perform sleep studies. Almost all of the major medical centers in the US now have centers for sleep disorders. In 2007, sleep medicine will become an official medical subspecialty, with board examinations being administered by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Sleep Medicine: Essentials and Review will cover this new field by providing a book that can be used both as a practical, outline-style text for managing sleep disorders and as a "high yield" review for preparing for the sleep medicine board exam. In addition to the text, the author will include 150 board-type multiple choice questions with answers and explanations. Dr. Lee-Chiong is a major authority in the field and author of a comprehensive sleep medicine textbook.

This book is a really good resource for anyone preparing to sit for the sleep boards. The subject matter is discussed clearly, and the 600 multiple choice questions at the end are very representative of those on the exam itself. Highly recommended.

I highly reccomend this book. Are you a sleep lab tech? This has alot of information with many pages of outlined information. It also contains the new scoring rules!!!! Some information is higher level for doctors but easy to read. You just learn a bit more than what is required to pass the RPSGT Exam. Other reading I also reccomend Essentials of Polysomnography by William H. Spriggs. This also has the new scoring rules. Along with Sleep Medicine Pearls by Richard B. Berry. This does not have the ... Read More

This is a great "must have" book which consolidates all the facts needed by an aspiring Sleep Medicine physician for clinical practice and for study. All the facts in this book has more than 85% of the information needed to study for the Sleep Medicine Exam! The text and study charts are easy to read and memorize. The 500 test questions with answers become great practice. What a bargain priced book! This book saved me time making notes...helping me pass the Sleep Medicine boards!
