• How to prioritize while managing, especially in emergency or acute cases
• An outline of signs/symptoms and diagnostic or lab tests that signify the need for change in management approaches
• An outlined follow-up schedule and necessary monitoring approach for specific patient circumstances

This book will also review how to approach Clinical Case Scenarios, which make up 20% of a students' final score.
