Reviews

"Conn's Current Therapy has been revised every year since 1949 and has kept pace with the ever-changing landscape of medical advances. The full-text online version that accompanies the book is very easy to access and navigate. This book is on par with the other available major comprehensive medicine books, but still a valuable addition to a primary care clinician's library." -Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences) Doody's Score: 92 - 4 Stars!
