Product Description

Based on AMA and CMA guidelines, this book provides core knowledge and practical instruction in the critical skills comprising the repertoire of the primary care physician as outlined by the Board of Directors of Drugless TherapyNaturopathy (BDDTN) and examined by the Naturopathic Licensing Examinations (NPLEXII). Primary care standards govern the systematic process of symptom/sign recognition, costeffective laboratory investigation, procedural diagnosis, proper followup, and case management for naturopathic physicians. These competencies will allow students to proceed to clinical rotations, independent medical practice, or further postgraduate studies. This book offers a program for mastering essential primary care skills, clinical knowledge, and professional behavior towards oneself, patients and families, colleagues, and the community. Emphasis is placed on problembased case studies and smallgroup learning experiences that simulate actual primary care clinical practice. Ideal not only for students of naturopathic medicine but also for practicing naturopathic doctors in need of a primary care clinical handbook.
