Medical Management of Vulnerable and Underserved Patients: Principles, Practice, and Populations Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This is the only reference currently available that focuses on the treatment of patients living with chronic diseases in poor and minority populations.

Book News Annotation:

Medical professors at the University of California-San Francisco examine the complex nature of caring for populations of lower socioeconomic status and minority racial backgrounds. The 41 chapters in the textbook explain how population medicine and systems approaches to caring for vulnerable patients can improve care, and they identify particular conditions or social circumstances that can lead to worse care.
