About this Item

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

About this title

Synopsis

This remarkably readable and accessible resource encapsulates the important knowledge and skills required in today's primary care practice. Focusing on the most frequently encountered outpatient problems, it's an ideal one-stop reference for students who are doing their primary care, ambulatory medicine, internal medicine, or family medicine rotations...as well as a superb handbook and review tool for primary care residents and practitioners.

The many authors include practicing primary care physicians as well as medical educators, and represent both internal medicine and family medicine. The result is an uncommonly authoritative, multidisciplinary overview of the field.

Each chapter begins with a case history, followed by a brief list of questions. This problem-based approach helps readers assess their knowledge to develop the critical thinking skills required in actual practice.

A pathophysiology section in each chapter emphasizes the connections between basic sciences and clinical medicine. This allows students to easily integrate new clinical information with the knowledge presented during the first two years of medical school.

Questions at the end of most chapters focus students on further research in the field.

In addition to vital "how-to" clinical skills, coverage also includes such important topics as doctor-patient communication, health economics, medical ethics in the ambulatory arena, cultural concerns, cost-effective care, team approach, and occupational and environmental health issues. What's more, and entire 8-chapter section is exclusively devoted to the subject of prevention.
