Derived almost entirely from the evidence-based Medical Knowledge Self-Assessment Program and the Physician Information and Education Resource (PIER), this guides third-year internal medicine (IM) clerkship students through patient care, preparation for clinical rounds, and study for examinations at the end of the rotation. Prepared by 67 authors in collaboration, most of whom are IM clerkship directors or faculty, these 90 chapters cover cardiovascular medicine, endocrinology and metabolism, gastroenterology and hepatology, general internal medicine, hematology, infectious disease, nephrology, neurology, oncology, pulmonary medicine and rheumatology. Each chapter describes diagnosis, treatment, follow-up and resources for more information, and the selection of color plates includes clinical photographs and microscopy. Other tools are also made available by the publisher on the Internet. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
