Principles of Ambulatory Medicine

By L. Randol Barker and John R. Burton

Book Overview

Updated for its Seventh Edition, Principles of Ambulatory Medicine is the definitive reference for all clinicians caring for adult ambulatory patients. It provides in-depth coverage of the evaluation, management, and long-term course of all clinical problems addressed in the outpatient setting. A major focus is on preventive care, grounded in excellent patient-physician communication. This edition features increased coverage of preventive care, particularly the impact of genetic testing as a disease predictor. For easy reference, the book is organized by body system and each chapter begins with an outline of key topics. References to randomized controlled clinical trials, meta-analyses, and consensus-based recommendations are boldfaced.

Great resource

Great item to include in your library. Just a little on the dull side- no sexy pictures or anything...

Supervising Physician says this is the one to have!

The SP I'm with told me this has an answer for almost all my questions. He refers to it frequently himself-- a very good reference!

A one stop shop for medical information.

You will not find a more complete and comprehensive medical resource. This book tackles every disease I can think of.
