The Resident's Guide to Ambulatory Care: Frequently Encountered and Commonly Confused Clinical Conditions

With sales of over 34,000 copies, The Resident's Guide to Ambulatory Care continues to be written by residents, for residents. The 7th edition includes 6 new chapters including child maltreatment, autism spectrum disorders, pneumonia in infants, occupational medicine, chronic pain management, and end of life care. Within these pages are the most recent national guidelines on a host of conditions with up-to-date charts, tables, algorithms and web links to “living documents,” all arranged for rapid reference; our goal is to provide the information needed while you are walking down the hall to the patient's room. The 7th edition provides state of the art information on evaluation and management of common ambulatory conditions in a straightforward, concise, and focused format.
