Description
The Washington Manual® General Internal Medicine Consult, Third Edition is a highly practical, point-of-care reference created to support clinicians during inpatient internal medicine consultations. Concise, portable, and user-friendly, this manual delivers rapid access to the essential diagnostic and management information needed in fast-paced hospital settings.
Unlike traditional disease-based texts, chapters are organized by presenting symptom—such as nausea, low back pain, or altered mental status—allowing clinicians to quickly review differential diagnoses, evaluation strategies, and evidence-based management during real-time consults. This structure makes it especially valuable for residents and trainees performing medical consults under time constraints.
Thoroughly revised, the third edition incorporates updated diagnostic approaches, new therapeutic strategies, and an all-new chapter on venous thromboembolic disease, ensuring alignment with current internal medicine practice. Content is intentionally brief and focused, zeroing in on what matters most for effective clinical decision-making.
Written by residents, fellows, and attending physicians from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, this manual reflects real-world clinical experience and academic excellence. It is ideally suited for internal medicine residents, hospitalists, medical students, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and practicing clinicians seeking a reliable quick-reference guide.
The included enhanced eBook further enhances usability, offering powerful search functionality, cross-linked navigation, customizable viewing options, note-taking, and offline access across multiple devices—making this an indispensable companion both on the wards and during on-call consults.
