Inspired by the enthusiastic response of psychiatrists and psychiatric residents to the recently published
Primary Care Medicine for Psychiatrists: A Practitioner's Guide,
the current volume is a concise, first-source guide to help specialists and other healthcare providers (especially psychiatrists, OB/GYN, and cardiologists) treat many general medicine problems.
Each chapter has been reviewed by a specialist or doctor with particular interest in the area to assure the accuracy and timeliness of the material.
Primary Care Medicine for Specialists and Non-Specialists
is written in a concise, note-like format, and is designed to be used rather than read.
