Updated for its Seventh Edition, Principles of Ambulatory Medicine is
the definitive reference for all clinicians caring for adult
ambulatory patients. It provides in-depth coverage of the evaluation,
management, and long-term course of all clinical problems addressed
in the outpatient setting. A major focus is on preventive care,
grounded in excellent patient-physician communication. This edition
features increased coverage of preventive care, particularly the
impact of genetic testing as a disease predictor.
For easy reference, the book is organized by body system and each
chapter begins with an outline of key topics. References to
randomized controlled clinical trials, meta-analyses, and consensus-
based recommendations are boldfaced.
