This is a comprehensive yet concise introduction to family medicine, which presents the core information students need to know about family medicine and primary care problems. New to this edition are: principles of family medicine; the human life cycle and health care needs; home and institutional care; the doctor-patient relationship; patient education; clinical reasoning in the ambulatory care setting; HIV disease; substance abuse; and care of the athlete. The book is designed to aid medical students in a family medicine clerkship and covers all essential information for the out-patient setting of family practice. Section 2 is devoted to prevention and health promotion. The common problems section covers all common issues faced in the family practice setting, including a game plan for care of the patient. Each chapter includes annotated suggested readings and case vignettes.

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.
