Essentials of Family Medicine

Klappentext "Perhaps more remarkable is how much hasn't changed in the past quarter century. The patient-centered encounter remains the backbone of effective care, whether in the office, on the telephone or online. In these encounters, attentiveness to the interaction between biological, socioeconomic, and psychological factors is as crucial and relevant as ever. Family medicine residency programs continue to provide excellent preparation for physicians interested in caring for individuals of all ages and their families within a broad range of practice settings, styles, and populations. Primary medical care continues to be recognized as the cornerstone of an effective health care system, although integration of primary care into the broader US system remains far from ideal"--Provided by publisher. Zusammenfassung Offers a comprehensive introduction to family medicine for clerkship students. This title is organized into three sections - principles of family medicine, preventive care, and common problems-and includes chapters on evidence-based medicine and complementary therapies.
