Loma Linda Department of Psychiatry’sThe Ninja’s Guide to PRITE2016 EditionThe Best PRITE Review .EVER
ForewordIn 2007, a ragamuffin group of interns and residents set out to create a high-yield PRITE guide. Equipped withlaptops, pencil-marked PRITEs from 2001-2006, and enough junk food to feed a small country, the “LomaLinda Department of Psychiatry PRITE Sweatshop” was started. After multiple revisions to the guide over thepast nine years, The Ninja’s Guide to PRITE continues to focus on the most important areas to cram into yourbrain in the month preceding PRITE. It is suggested that going over old PRITE exams is the best preparationfor PRITE. This guide provides a comprehensive summary of old PRITEs in an attempt to help with a moreefficient review. Other items in this guide include a psychopharmacology review, a psychotherapy review,and a miscellaneous topics high-yield review. The various Ninja reviews combine information from theMassachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Review, Synopsis of Psychiatry and Synopsis ofPsychopharmacology by Kaplan and Sadock, the APA Psychiatry Textbook and other excellent sources.Remember that these materials are copyrighted, so please do not sell this free learning tool. With thesetools, it is my hope that you will completely rock the PRITE.Best of Ninja Luck,Melissa Pereau, MDAssociate Psychiatry Residency Training DirectorLoma Linda Department of PsychiatryLoma Linda University School of MedicineGo to Table of Contents2
