About this book

Since its initial publication, Primary Care in Obstetrics and Gynecology has been the definitive source for information on the primary health care of women for the obstetrician-gynecologist and resident. This timely second edition is an up-to-date revision by renowned leaders in obstetrics and gynecology and relevant subspecialties. Subjects covered in the first edition have been revised to include the latest in women’s health, and updated and new material has been added on elderly patients; cardiovascular hypertension; genomic and applied molecular biology; and nutrition, obesity, and eating disorders. New case studies complement the quality information that makes this handbook a must-have reference for obstetricians, gynecologists, and all medical professionals who cater to the unique healthcare needs of women.

Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This handbook for busy clinicians, residents, and students includes some general principles of primary care and specific clinical areas of interest in the office setting. … The purpose is to tie the gynecologic, medical knowledge and clinical applications together, and apply this knowledge to the patient in the office. … The audience includes clinicians in practice, residents in training, and medical students. The text is detailed and provides useful information for the clinician. … This is a terrific handbook to have readily in the office." (Jeffrey F. Peipert, MD, PhD, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2008)
