The 4th edition of "Swansons Family Practice Review" provides a succinct, updated review of common issues facing the primary care physician. It's a great tool for the family practice physician preparing for certification or re-certification, as well as those preparing to take the SPEX. Each of the nine chapters in the book represents a sub-discipline, tested on by the American Board of Family Physicians. Each chapter is divided into a series of problems presented as one or more clinical cases, covering an aspect of differential diagnosis. Questions concerning the proper diagnosis and/or management follow each case.
