Textbook of Physical Diagnosis-8판

Description:

Mastering each aspect of the patient interview and physical exam is fundamental to medical education, resulting in
more accurate diagnostic skills, more effective patient management, and better patient outcomes! Dr. Swartz's Textbook

approach to the art and science of interviewing and physical examination. From cover to cover, you'll learn how your
interpersonal awareness is just as important in physical diagnosis as your level of skill - and why clinical
competence in this area is essential for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and all members of the
healthcare profession.
