This edition has been edited by a new team of Mayo Clinic gastroenterologists and hepatologists, under the stewardship of Dr. Stephen C. Hauser, the editor-in-chief of the previous fifth edition. The faculty who authored this edition are all Mayo Clinic physicians who spend their time caring for patients and teaching in an academic medical center. Accordingly, the emphasis of this edition is on clinical knowledge to enhance patient management. Case-based presentations and numerous board examination-type, single best-answer questions with annotated answers facilitate self-testing and studying.
