About For The Boards

A printed study companion written during internal medicine residency, built to sit beside a question bank.

Slaton Case, author

Slaton Case is an internal medicine physician who wrote For The Boards during residency. The book starts with presenting symptoms and connects them to diagnoses, treatment, and next steps. It is designed for residents who want a compact place to organize what they learn while working through questions.

The idea is practical: when a question exposes a gap, put the lesson beside the related presentation. Over time, your annotations make the book a reference shaped by the distinctions you needed to learn.

What the book is for

Use it alongside your question bank and current educational references. It is a study companion, not a replacement for a full explanation, a clinical guideline, or supervised patient care. The free excerpts help you decide whether the format fits the way you study.
