©2009 BC Decker Authors: David C. Dale, M.D., Daniel D. Federman, M.D., M.A.C.P. ACP Medicine is the first comprehensive reference to carry the name of the American College of Physicians. Developed to help busy physicians keep up with changing guidelines in primary care, ACP Medicine is a continually updated, evidence-based reference of internal medicine. This respected adult primary care reference not only addresses the underlying science of a given condition but also provides the experts’ recommended approach to diagnosis and treatment. Sections cover the internal medicine disciplines, as well as dermatology, neurology, and psychiatry. Abundant references to current best evidence ensure further study time is well spent, and exquisite illustrations, many in four-color, enhance understanding of difficult scientific concepts. Continually updated, with approximately 15 new and revised chapters incorporated each quarter, this peer-reviewed reference is also praised for its readability.
