About this title

Book Description:

Essential Reproductive Medicine covers the full range of REI: Basic Reproductive Medicine; Disorders of the Endocrine System; Infertility; Contraception; and the Menopause. The authors have organized the table of contents to reflect how the resident and generalist approach REI patients and to provide an understandable clinical context rather than narrow, overly specific chapters. The theme of practicality and accessibility continues with the chapter features. Through the copious use of headings and tables, each chapter presents information in easily digestible bits for ease of reading and ease of learning. Chapters also contain key points, chapter summaries, and targeted reference lists.
