Customer Reviews from Amazon :
This is the state of the art textbook for Family Medicine. The book is comprehensive, accurate, and interesting to read. It is also a very efficient way to look up information quickly during clinical sessions. We have several copies in our clinic, and we use it extensively to teach our residents. I have used the previous version of this book as a book prize at graduation for outstanding resident performance.
Since I am a visual person, I find the comprehensive collections of photos and graphics to be a great way to learn. It was a great resource for my personal board recertification preparation this spring. The photos draw you into the material, and it helped me to sustain my energy for some longer study sessions. I personally own the iPad and the hard copy version, and I think both are excellent.
Excellent resource
This is truly a comprehensive atlas. It includes everything from radiographic images to detailed diagnoses, with an especially impressive section on dermatology. Clearly, this is a "must-have" for anyone in a clinical primary care setting. It is great for anyone in training and a quick reference for those in practice.
The photos are high quality and the accompanying clinical information is helpful as well. There really is not another book out there that combines all elements of primary care with photos and up to date, useful explanations.
Highly recommended!
Practical, concise and beautiful
The Color Atlas of Family Medicine is an exceptional reference for the practicing physician, medical student or resident.
In an era where good medical content is freely available on the internet, traditional textbooks require too much searching and extended reading times, only to find that the information is incomplete or outdated. In contrast, this book allows focused and concise review of a very broad range of topics relevant in the clinical setting.
As its title indicates, the book is filled with extremely detailed and well reproduced photographs, covering all the major fields of family medicine. Even with broadband connections, high quality photos and graphics are much slower and grainier on the internet than in a well-organized book.
The section on dermatology alone would make a great stand-alone reference text.
Most books that are presented as an `atlas' pay less attention to the text than the graphics. However, the information in this book is packed with concise, practical, and timely information that fully compliments its graphics and is a joy to use.
Each section is beautifully presented, each topic introduced with a patient scenario. This provides a natural clinical overview of the topic and, throughout the text, highlighted by superb photos and graphics. It is therefore easy to review a subject `real time' in the office or clinical setting.
The book also covers common family Medicine procedures including colposcopy, dermoscopy, and intralesional steroid injections. In addition, it covers many common areas of Family Medicine often sparsely covered in training, such as Podiatry, physical and substance abuse, and end-of-life issues.
A wonderful and nearly unique feature of this book is that most recommendations indicate a "strength of recommendation" based on the quality of information derived from evidence based medicine.
Also, as someone who has been a clinical instructor for Family Medicine residents, this is a great resource to "fast track" the experience of seeing and taking care of a patient with a particular problem or to allow a quick topic review of a patient that is being seen in the office or clinic.
Much is being said about the medical home. This book will provide much of the support and information needed to turn your practice into a medical home and support your development in the art of medicine.
