Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Ganong's Medical Physiology Examination & Board Review AB - We have been gratified by the response we have received since taking over the helm of Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology with the 23rd edition, and now with two additional editions under our belt. It has been our goal to reorganize and update this venerable resource, while maintaining the features of the book that gave it such an important place in the worldwide marketplace for physiology texts for the 22 editions produced by the extraordinary Professor Fran Ganong. We have paid particular attention to overhauling the graphical aspects of the volume to aid in consistency among chapters and to take advantage of its new full-color format and have added new pedagogical features, such as clinical correlations and therapeutic highlights. Throughout our endeavors to uphold Professor Ganong's unique perspective we have noticed that the book's comprehensive nature reduces its utility as a tool to review physiology content in preparation for Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE). We also felt that the current edition could be improved with supplemental resources with which students can assess their own mastery of the content.
