Launched on Oxford Medicine Online in 2012, with the full-text of eight Mayo Clinic Scientific Press (MCSP) print titles and a bank of multiple-choice questions, Mayo Clinic Toolkit provides a single location for resident, fellow, and practicing clinicians to undertake the self-testing necessary to prepare for, and pass, the Boards. Mayo Clinic Infectious Diseases Board Reviewis a comprehensive, state-of-the-art publication. Written by practicing Mayo Clinic infectious diseases specialists, the resource covers current and essential clinical aspects of diseases likely to be encountered by the infectious diseases specialist as well as to appear on the subspecialty infectious diseases board examination. Tables, diagrams, algorithms, and images can all be enlarged and downloaded to PowerPoint slides. Highlights of The Mayo Clinic Toolkit include: - Each title is presented in an enhanced format, allowing the enlargement and download of all figures and images, and linking to external sources referenced in the text. - The multiple-choice questions are designed to mirror those in the Board exam for realistic preparation; they also link back to the relevant title, and allow the user to measure their development through the recording of practice-exam success. - It can be accessed on a range of internet enabled devices, giving residents, fellows, and practicing clinicians the choice to study in locations which suit them- Subscription lengths range from 1-month to a full year. Combining two complimentary resource types into a single location, with enhancements to the print works, the flexibility to choose where and when to study, and the ability to monitor revision progress, Mayo Clinic Toolkit is truly the go-to site for Board preparation.

I tried to use the Mayo Clinic Infectious Disease Board Review textbook as the basis for a study group to prepare to recertify for the ABIM ID Boards. However, the book is not very useful to infectious disease specialists preparing for this exam because it is too superficial and limited in scope. On the other hand, I have not found any better stand alone textbook. One could use this textbook as an outline with the understanding that one would have to use other resources to study.This textbook is relatively cheap and has some good visual materiel.
For physicians preparing for the ID boards, a much better product is the George Washington University ID Board Review, available as a home study. It includes two binders of slides, on line questions and access to the recording of lectures. Is is great but of course much more expensive. Rush University also has a good home study product but not nearly as good.

I was unsatisfied for several reasons:
1. I found that having the entire subject matter described in outline form to be user unfriendly. This is hard to read, hard to pay attention to, and frequently obscure. Often it felt as if it were referring to something that was self evident. There were occasional apparent mistakes in how the outlines were structured.
2. The text was deficient in providing relevant recent updates of infectious diseases. For example, there was no discussion of recent data suggesting treatment failures were more common for S. aureus infections with an MIC GTE 2.0, despite their being a section on pharmacokinetics.
3. The selection of medically important antivirals makes no mention of ribavirin, telaprevir, bocepravir, entecavir or recently added antiretrovirals.
4. The section on C. diff makes no mention of rifaximin or fidaxomicin
5. Recently described pathogens were often not mentioned.
6. No mention of the NDM-1 Klebsiella outbreak

Thus as a text reflecting recent advances in the field, I found this to be insufficient.

I purchased this to prepare for the ID Boards, but did not use much. Obviously, it is impossible to cover all areas of clinical infectious diseases in a review book, and thus we expect this kind of item to cover "what is most likely asked" on the Boards. I do not think this review book successfully meets such an expectation. It is not clear what each section wants to highlight to increase the likelihood of passing the Boards for the one who uses this book. Furthermore, review questions do not seem to be particularly high yield, compared to what is offered at some of the Board Review courses available.

This is a good I.D. board review book, with good quality pictures and paper.
Most topics are covered, but some are totally omitted.
One thing that needs most attention is the board review questions section. Sometimes the language in the questions appeared hard to understand or just inappropriate. Sometimes the answer choices were confusing, the answer explanations could have been a little longer as well.
There are typos in the graphs as well.
Over all I still recommend this review book for medical students, interns, residents, fellows and practicing physicians.
Hopefully the next edition will be even better.

The best and only board review book for ID boards. Though I wish it was available as a real e-book. The Kindle version is essentially a PDF with no options for font sizes or styles.

Is very basic for an ID specialist but it is very organized and very useful, very helpful when you are preparing for boards!

Great book. It gives all you ever need to know in Infectious Diseases for the boards and more.
Nice pictures, very well written and an excellent review.

It is very concise and informative. I was surprised to find many questions from the book in the exam. Great!!
