Editorial Reviews for Essentials of Family Medicine (Sloane, 5th edition)
|
|
Written at the clerkship level, this book is a comprehensive introduction to family medicine. It is organized into three sections--principles of family medicine, preventive care, and common problems--and includes chapters on evidence-based medicine and complementary therapies. The text has a user-friendly writing style, focuses on common clinical problems, and uses case studies to show practical applications of key concepts. This edition features an updated art program, more illustrations, summaries, consistent headings, greater emphasis on evidence-based care, and more diverse family physician profiles representing varied practice settings. A companion Website offers the fully searchable text, 75 study questions, and an ExamKit of more than 300 questions with which faculty can generate tests.

Summary: Book review
Comment: A must have for NP school. Great book. Thanks Amazon for providing the best prices and great services.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: the link to access the questions DOES NOT work.
Comment: the link which came with the book to access the questions associated with this book does not work which is a real problem as the ecams are coming up. That is why i BOUGHT A new BOOK. I contacted the publisher who were not helpful(Lippincot) saying they did receive similar complaints and they are working on it. that does not help me . when I asked if they can send me those questions they said they cannot.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book for evidence based medicine
Comment: This was recommended by a friend and I have been using it to study for the family practice boards. Is a wonderful review book that really sums up alot of information. Great quick read that is a wonderful base. Would highly recommend.
Customer Rating:
Summary: useless
Comment: whatever you do, don't get this book. don't get the new version either. Unless your clerkship demands that you use it and bases all its curriculum around it (including using the exam written by the same authors), then it's not worth it. It's painful to read, and overpriced for its paper quality and medical content.
And so far the opinion has held for all my classmates as well.
If you can borrow it from a classmate, do so. If you must buy it, then buy it used.
Customer Rating:
Summary: In good conscience I cannot recommend this text
Comment: This text is the required book for my Family Medicine program. While I have never been a fan of dense books, I can honestly state that this is the most cumbersome book I have read for medical school. It is dense, flows poorly, and the advise within chapters is very often contradictory.
The absolute worse feature of the book is it is very light in clinical material. It sites empirical and evidence based medicine ad nauseum, but when it mentioned a maneuver it almost never explains how it is performed, when a differential supports the use of the maneuver, and what would be a positive sign. I found this very frustrating because I needed another book to read this book!
This book lacks the most basic insights that should be gained after a Family Medicine rotation. After reading the URI chapter it offers very little practical advise for separating bacterial vs. viral infections.
The book is a great collection of guidelines and recommendations that you can share with your patients, but does not teach what you need to know to learn or practice Family Medicine. This book should be titled "Lagniappe of Family Medicine"
