Current Practice Guidelines in Primary Care, 2014 is intended for all clinicians interested in updated, evidence-based guidelines for primary care topics in both the ambulatory and the hospital setting.

This pocket-sized reference consolidates information from nationally recognized medical associations and government agencies into concise recommendations and guidelines of virtually all ambulatory care topics. This book is organized into topics related to disease screening, disease prevention, and disease management for quick reference to the evaluation and treatment of the most common primary care disorders. The 2014 edition of Current Practice Guidelines in Primary Care contains thirty new chapters and updates most other primary care topics. It is a great resource for residents, medical students, midlevel providers, and practicing physicians in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology. Although painstaking efforts have been made to find all errors and omissions, some errors may remain. Evan D. Evan D.
