I was pleasantly surprised by the Saint Francis Guide to Outpatient Medicine! The content was thorough enough for my clinic, and went beyond the basics of outpatient care. What I loved most about the book was the last section of each chapter which gave recommendations for follow up care, which, as a resident is probably the hardest thing for me to decide when seeing patients in my clinic. I have already shown this book to my fellow residents and even attendings as a book everyone should own. Thank you so much for this great reference!

This is a great reference guide that I use several times a week in my practice as a nurse practitioner in a busy family practice office. My favorite section is the one on anemias. I had initially discovered it from one of my physician colleagues. I used it so much I bought my own copy! It is so easy to use with great information on a variety of topics.

This book was very useful to me to introduce me to clinical medicine. It is organized by complaint and has a very user-friendly format with differential diagnosis, tests, treatment, etc. Is an excellent resource for any introductory to medicine, internal medicine, family medicine, ambulatory medicine, even referred to it a couple of times in peds. I've come back to it a few times during 4th year rotations too. Worth a look!

My right hand in clinic, but needs a new edition- otherwise would be 5 stars. Medicine changes too quickly. Current ed is 2000. This should be updated NLT q 3 yr.

Just like the Inpatient Guide from the same authors, this is a great book. It's biggest strength is it's format; concise, well-written, and organized by chief complaint/problem. Easy to crack between patient encounters in clinic when you just need to review differential diagnosis or what tests to order to complete a workup. Helps you remember what questions to ask during history-taking. I used it extensively during outpatient clinic as a resident and in my first year of clinic practice. Well worth the money.
