This updated Fourth Edition continues to serve as a comprehensive introduction to family medicine. Written at the clerkship level, it groups chapters into three sections: Principles of Family Medicine, Promoting Health throughout Life, and Common Problems. New to this edition is a feature called Careers in Family Medicine, three additional chapters, and a division of respiratory tract infections expanded and split into upper and lower.
