Fred Ferri is a Clinical Professor of Community Health at the Alpert Medical School, Brown University and author of over 30 medical books. He has been the best-selling medical author in the United States over the past 25 years and is also well known and respected internationally. He has been a visiting Professor at other medical schools and many of his books have been translated in several languages. In addition to his numerous publications, he has had a distinguished academic career at Brown University where he has received several awards for his dedication to teaching including the Brown University Excellence in Teaching award and Dean's teaching Award, and with the American College of Physicians where he was inducted as a Fellow in the ACP and has been a recipient of the Irving Addison Beck Award from the Rhode Island Chapter of the American College of Physicians. Dr. Ferri is a practicing physician at Ocean State Medical, a group primary care practice that he established in 1984 and still runs along with two other partners and his two sons.
"excellent reference source at a keen price" "This is the latest in this established series, which has long been valued by clinicians for a quick reference, useable during the practice day to help with a difficult presentation. Even in this era of internet search and online resources (UpToDate, Epocrates, etc.), there is a usefulness in a desk reference. Particularly, the laboratory test section is not available in similar quality from other resources. The algorithms are used by many other sources, so it makes sense to use the original."
