About this book

Endocrinology, and diabetes care in particular, is a dynamic field where clinicians must translate new evidence into clinical practice at a rapid pace.   Designed in an engaging, case-based format, Endocrinology and Diabetes: A Problem Oriented Approach offers a wide range of thought-provoking case studies that reflect contemporary, challenging, hands-on clinical care. Further, by providing a list of specific clinical problems, this format offers the reader a more convenient and pointed way to solve precise clinical problems in a timely manner.   Developed by a renowned, international group of experts, this comprehensive title covers the most common clinical problems in endocrinology and diabetes and should be of great interest to endocrinologists, diabetologists, internal medicine physicians, family physicians, fellows, and residents.​

Reviews

From the reviews:

 

“This book summarizes the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of common endocrine diseases. … It is written for practitioners, both internists and subspecialists in endocrinology, but it is also useful for medical students to review during a rotation in internal medicine or endocrinology. … It is succinct and can be used as a brief reference for managing patients in the clinic.” (Colleen Flynn, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2014)
