The Washington Manual of Outpatient Internal Medicine is designed as a companion to the
Manual of Medical Therapeutics,
addressing the most common encounters in outpatient internal medicine - for example,
hypertension and diabetes.
Disorders treated in the ambulatory setting fall outside traditional internal medicine;
therefore, chapters also cover
dermatology, otolaryngology, neurology and psychiatry and ophthalmology. The 2nd edition
includes a complete update of
all chapters.
Color-enhanced, templated chapters for easy lookup and enhanced readability
Evidence-based chapters
Tables and figures guide readers through evaluation and management of the most common
medical problems encountered in
outpatient internal medicine
