CURRENT Obstetrics And Gynecologic Diagnosis And Treatment


CURRENT Obstetrics And Gynecologic Diagnosis And Treatment is a leading single-source book in women's health care, reproductive medicine, and pelvic surgery.

It features:
  1. Thorough review of all of obstetrics And gynecology.
  2. Covers more than 1,000 diseases and disorders.
  3. The latest screening and management guidelines.
  4. More than 450 clear clinical photos and illustrations in two colors.
  5. Formatted to facilitate quick retrieval of information.
  6. Concise, current coverage of treatments for common gynecologic infections.
  7. Extensively revised throughout.
  8. Covers underlying pathophysiology when relevant to diagnosis and treatment.
  9. Helpful references to classic and important new sources

I used this book as a supplement to my 3rd year clerkship in med school. It is not a huge text, so it was great for looking up the details that were not found in Blueprints, especially if you are interested in OB for a career. The book is well organized and is easy to read. Too much to read for board review or shelf exams, but an excellent reference book for OB/GYN.
