This text looks at family medicine, detailing the clinical management of the most important conditions seen in primary practice in a problem-based format. The two-colour format gives an accessibility to charts, tables, algorithms and the overall design. It includes a review of modern family theory in the age of managed care, presentation of family medicine as a process, and sections on sports medicine and geriatics. The first part of the book reviews the principles of family medicine, its history, traditions, and culture and lays the groundwork for management of illness in a social, community, and family context. The second applies these principles in caring for the family including common acute problems, chronic problems, and behavioural disorders.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Well thought out and insightful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Textbook of Family Medicine (Hardcover)
It's rare that you can find inspiration in a textbook, but in this case I was overwhlemed by it. Dr. Saultz made it clear in his writing that he loves his work and the first few chapters provided a long called for definition of what family medicine entails. The organization of the book kept it easy to follow, and the use of example cases to correspond with a point really made learning from the book easy. With the growing trends toward primary care medicine, this work becomes important for all medical students to read to reach a better understanding of what that means.
