Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through full color illustrations, patient photographs, and video examples, this resource highlights a logical, step-by-step approach to gain clinical competency. The authoritative content is divided into three sections to build and develop students' practical skills: History Flows, which provide context and practice through clinical scenario work, to logically develop differential diagnoses; Physical Examination Flows, which focus on comprehensive and consistent exams by using the human body as a map; and finally, Comprehensive Flows, which enable the student to apply their history taking and examination tools together to develop a differential diagnosis and a treatment plan all under the real-world pressure of a time-sensitive office visit. Each section features "Clinical Case Practice" for students to interact and apply the clinical concepts and to prepare for actual practice. By moving beyond discrete symptoms, this book prepares students not only for practical boards, but for delivering humanistic care in real-world patient encounters.

Book excerpt: The Essential Guide to Writing History Essays is a step-by-step guide to the typical assignments of any undergraduate or master's-level history program in North America. Effective writing is a process of discovery, achieved through the continual act of making choices--what to include or exclude, how to order elements, and which style to choose--each according to the author's goals and the intended audience. The book integrates reading and specialized vocabulary with writing and revision and addresses the evolving nature of digital media while teaching the terms and logic of traditional sources and the reasons for citation as well as the styles. This approach to writing not only helps students produce an effective final product and build from writing simple, short essays to completing a full research thesis, it also teaches students why and how an essay is effective, empowering them to approach new writing challenges with the freedom to find their own voice.
