An essential guide to your first year as an Internal Medicine resident

Find practical clinical information to help your approach to patient complaints in Resident Readiness Internal Medicine, Second Edition. The case-based presentation parallels how you'll work through clinical decision-making—starting with a chief complaint, followed by differential diagnoses, what to watch out for, diagnostic tests and management.

Divided into sections for inpatient medicine, outpatient medicine and transitions of care, this resource focuses on practical knowledge, complemented by Q&A, and diagnosis and treatment. Text features include:

• Concise, easy-to-read chapters presented in a streamlined design
• Case-based presentations organize context to valuable issues vital to the new resident
• Sections for outpatient and inpatient presentations and transitions of care
• Expanded section on treatment of fever to include more causes, such as pneumonia, UTI and sinusitus
• Pertinent considerations around diversity, equity, and inclusion
