Author(s): Ralph Gonzales, MD, MSPH and Jean S. Kutner, MD, MSPH
Publisher: McGraw-Hill
Current Practice Guidelines in Primary Care 2009 is the only single-source resource for recommended guidelines from major associations. From the latest guidelines on the most appropriate preventative services, accepted screening methods for disease, and recommended treatment strategies, this quick-access guide compiles suggested guidelines from all the major associations and regulating agencies. The intent of this guide is both to help clinicians select the most appropriate clinical services and interventions for a given situation and to provide clinicians with quick access to the latest information.
This invaluable resource is intended for primary care clinicians, including not only residents and practicing physicians in the specialties of family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology, but also medical and nursing students during their ambulatory care rotations, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. This latest update is based on the
2009 print edition with additional features, enhanced functionality and ongoing updates!
