The Family Practice Desk Reference

This reference text covers the most important aspects of health and illness management for the most common conditions encountered by family physicians. Organized by the life-cycle approach (e.g. care of children, maternity care) and by body system (e.g. cardiovascular, lung), each chapter is written by practicing family physicians, residency faculty, or senior family practice residents, and contains a list of references for more in-depth study.
