Product Review

Prepared by residents and attending physicians, this pocket-sized loose-leaf is created in the style of Pocket Medicine by providing key clinical data for students and residents and focuses on patient care in the ob/gyn setting. Each chapter contains the brief background, differential diagnoses, clinical algorithms, and literature citations that allows a student or intern to shine during rounds by helping them quickly formulate basic management plans.

Special appendices on pelvic anatomy, common ob-gyn procedures, common tests in ob-gyn, and drugs in ob and breastfeeding, may be especially useful references. Because ob-gyn involves so much interdisciplinary learning, a carefully prepared cross-referenced index is included to help assist in locating information quickly. Pocket ObGyn offers a handy summary of key clinical information designed to form the basis of an individual's pocket notebook or to be integrated into one's own notebook.
