great source

This book is a terrific source for evidence based critera for every day practice

essential addition to 21st century clinician's library

This annually updated soft-cover book is an essential addition to any 21st century clinician's library. It presents a review of the evidence on common primary care dilemmas (e.g. hormone replacement therapy -- risks and benefits; cancer screening; management of common diseases). The bibliography at the end of each chapter is excellent for those who want to delve into specifics, while the chapters themselves provide an overview of the science for busy practitioners. As a family practice resident, I'm finding it an excellent resource, and keep it with me in the office.
