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