The 4th edition of Clinical Guidelines in Primary Care is amazing and worth every penny. I bought it at the beginning of my 2nd out of 4 clinical rotations and was kicking myself for not purchasing soon. I love how it breaks each diagnosis down, making it easy to understand. It has all the latest guidelines in one book and includes all of the screenings according to age group from USPSTF. It was super helpful for my weekly discussion post, writing soap notes, and use in the clinical site. I will continue to use this in practice. Thanks, Hollier and all the other contributors!!!
