Primary Care Medicine Office Evaluation and Management of the Adult Patient

For over 45 years, Primary Care Medicine: Office Evaluation and Management of the Adult Patient has provided clinicians with authoritative guidance on the full spectrum of clinical challenges encountered in the primary care setting. Dedicated to empowering primary care clinicians, Drs. Allan H. Goroll and Albert G. Mulley, along with more than 100 expert contributors, provide actionable, evidence-based guidance for the comprehensive work up and full medical management of more than 200 of the most common complaints seen in the primary care setting. All chapters are problem-based and action-oriented, with intuitively presented tables and extensive references so everything needed for clinical decision-making is included in one place. Primary Care Medicine not only delivers practical recommendations but the evidentiary bases for them, as well as the foundational knowledge needed to make the best decisions for patients.
