Note: This book was updated 8/2022 to reflect new FDA medication approvals and indications. This is the second edition of “Obesity Medicine Board Review Book”. It contains an additional 35 new questions and detailed explanations, updated tables, images, and a discussion of new and emerging therapies. This book was written by an ABOM diplomate, taking high-yield topics found in a variety of the most up-to-date American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) board review courses, resources, and professional practice guidelines to provide the most comprehensive board review question set available. Although this 300-page book is written explicitly for ABOM candidates to assist in the preparation, it also provides a vast amount of practical information for clinicians interested in best-treating patients who struggle with the chronic disease of obesity. In addition, there is a significant cross-over in content for those studying for the Certified Bariatric Nurse (CBN) examination and it may be a vital resource for nurses in their preparation for their certification exam. Questions: One-hundred and eighty-five challenging, second and third-order questions are provided not just to test rote memory, but application and correlation skills. All questions are problem-based clinical scenarios simulating the actual test and covering all test domains provided in the ABOM test content outline. Questions are organized into the following chapters: diagnosis and evaluation, treatment, and practice management. Explanations: The high-quality explanations are written in a way to thoroughly explain the thought process of arriving at the correct answer. Tables, diagrams, images, and algorithms assist in organizing your thought process in order to come to the correct answer in similar questions covering related clinical scenarios. References: References are provided for each question, referring to the recommended test material and resources provided by ABOM. Also, each item contains the test content domain identifier to understand the objective being tested. Wherever you are in your board review process, this book will provide you with the information necessary and confidence desired to pass ABOM boards.
