Editorial Reviews

Review

"This remains the best single "rotation-sized" book for clinical clerks in family practice.  Its size and scope makes it ideal for any student, regardless of whether he or she intends to enter family practice or even a primary care discipline in general. The book's approach provides a unique blend of science and humanism that is a credit to our specialty and a positive influence on all students rotating through a family practice clerkship. Finally, its logical and easy to administer format make it an ideal tool for teachers of family practice to employ."  Doody's Review --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
