Synopsis

"Perhaps more remarkable is how much hasn't changed in the past quarter century. The patient-centered encounter remains the backbone of effective care, whether in the office, on the telephone or online. In these encounters, attentiveness to the interaction between biological, socioeconomic, and psychological factors is as crucial and relevant as ever. Family medicine residency programs continue to provide excellent preparation for physicians interested in caring for individuals of all ages and their families within a broad range of practice settings, styles, and populations. Primary medical care continues to be recognized as the cornerstone of an effective health care system, although integration of primary care into the broader US system remains far from ideal"--Provided by publisher.

About this title

From the Author

First evidence-based textbook in family medicine
Our goal was to create the first evidence-based textbook for the field of family medicine (or any other field for that matter!). While helping you identify the best evidence, it doesn't lose sight of the clinical expertise, communications skills, and psychosocial orientation so important to being an outstanding family physician. It includes evidence tables, test characteristics including likelihood ratios, and algorithms for many common problems.
