Review
"I thought Blueprints Family Medicine (like all the Blueprints) was fabulous and would (and do!) recommend these to all my friends. This book would have been wonderfully appropriate for my FM rotation - enough to provide the details you need on rounds and for the examinations, but succinct enough to allow reading in the timeframe." - Kamran Shamsa, Internal Medicine/Pediatrics Combined Program Resident, UCLA Medical Center "Blueprints Family Medicine is concise and easy to read, with all the pertinent information. The new chapters are a great addition to the book to help round out topics, especially the maternity care section, which is such an important area in family medicine. I would recommend this book to students doing family medicine, and have already done so." - Celeste Chu Kuo, Pediatrics Resident, Saint Louis Children's Hospital "I love the Blueprints series and this book is no exception - I think they are the reason for my great SHELF exam scores throughout the year. Blueprints Family Medicine is a great tool to use for your family rotation. Great new additions in the maternity care, pediatric, and geriatric sections." - Tara Creighton, University of South Dakota School of Medicine, 2005 "Blueprints Family Medicine appears to be a great book. I like the strong use of boxes and tables." - Amy Little, Georgetown University School of Medicine, 2005
