The Blueprints Of Infection

Designed as a quick read for students on a pediatrics rotation and others who want to know more about the specialty, Blueprints Infectious Diseases covers the essentials that every student needs to know in a pocket-sized, practical reference. The book focuses on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the most common conditions students are likely to encounter and the essential content students need to know during a rotation. Twenty-five multiple-choice and matching review questions are included, plus appendices on career and residency opportunities, commonly prescribed medications, and a list of evidence-based resources.

One of the best selling and highly regarded volumes in the Blueprints series, Blueprints Obstetrics and Gynecology provides students with a concise review of what they need to know in their ob/gyn rotations or the Boards. Each chapter is brief and includes pedagogical features such as bolded key words, tables, figures, and Key Points. A question-and-answer section at the end of the book presents 100 board-format questions with rationales. The newest techniques in contraception and sterilization and hormone replacement therapies are covered, as are contemporary treatment options for uterine fibroids and invasive breast cancer. A companion Website includes a question bank and fully searchable text.
