From the Preface by Drs. Wolfe and Lowe:

"Previous editions of this Gastroenterology Board Review have been widely disseminated in print format and have been proven invaluable in promoting the education of both trainees and practitioners. However, as the saying goes, "the times, they are a changin', and we are pleased that you have elected to utilize this newly formulated web-based instructional resource. It continues to represent the product of the enormous efforts of its individual authors, who in addition to their numerous other commitments, have given their valuable time to respond to the compelling need to share their expertise. They have produced chapters of the highest quality, with a focus on materials likely to be included on board exams, to ensure the success of its readers."

"This outstanding group of academicians, who have elected to share their comprehensive and contemporary expertise in their respective areas of interest, have provided materials that will facilitate the preparation necessary for trainees to achieve success in obtaining Gastroenterology Board Review Certification, as well as for practitioners to fulfill their requirement for recertification. This web-based instructional resource manual will enable those who utilize it to review the subject matter in an expeditious and efficient manner, thereby allowing them to concentrate on crystallizing the enormous fund of knowledge accrued during the past several years of their training or years as a practitioner."
