Description
The Saint-Frances Guide to Outpatient Medicine was prepared and written by chief residents for third- and fourth-year medical students and residents. The use of mnemonics, tables, and algorithms makes the text a user-friendly, quick reference resource. This pocket-sized review provides up-to-date information that can be used while seeing patients in the examination room, because each condition is covered concisely yet thoroughly. Therefore, a quick review of the topic takes only a few minutes. The text also serves as an excellent study guide in preparation for the USMLE.
