"This is a tremendous asset for students and residents learning to develop their diagnostic skills. It can also be useful as a refresher for established clinicians when the more common diagnoses are not the cause of a patient's complaints." - Doody's Review

An engaging case-based approach to learning the diagnostic process in internal medicine

Doody's Core Titles for 2021!
