This new text covers basic principles commonly found in the introduction to emergency medicine course. Comprised of five sections, diagnosis and management is presented from an emergency medicine perspective. It includes 75 case-based clinical vignettes to help students prepare for the course and clerkship as well as the USMLE. The common complaint section features a template covering differential history and physical, pathophysiology, and treatment of the given topics. Illustrations and line drawings supplement the text. Curricula objectives from the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) and the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) are addressed.
Annals of Emergency Medicine , Susan Ney, MD, Jefferson Medical College, Temple University Hospital, Philadelphia, PA -- This new textbook tackles the daunting task of introducing medical students to emergency medicineThe book starts with an interesting chapter about the history of emergency medicine, how it became a residency, and principles of emergency medicine. Although related directly to patient care, this chapter provides a wealth of information for medical students considering the field. I would highly recommend this book for any medical, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner student in the ED. The length of the chapters makes for an ideal read during down time or before a procedure. There is enough information to engage a student interested in emergency medicine, without too much information to deter a student merely taking the clinical rotation as a requirement.-Annals of Emergency Medicine
