Ratings and Reviews
Helpful app - in the office or on call
I have been using the paper version of this handbook for the past couple of years and was excited when the digital app came out. I have found it to be very helpful, especially on call, and went teaching medical students. It's nice to have this information in an easy to access format. I haven't been able to find a similar app in this price range that has the same sort of information. Thanks!
Must-Have Resource!!
I have RELIED on this book since medical school! It is a fantastic resource for quick reference and summarizes topics beautifully. This used to be a small purple book that I used to keep in my bag at all times. I am SO happy that it is now available in an app on my phone! I am now a graduating family medicine resident and this resource is still my go-to reference for anything from DSM criteria to differential diagnoses and treatment algorithms for most psychiatric complaints. Cannot recommend this app enough!
definitely aimed at residents
Just bought this after attending a conference. Quite disappointed. Most of the info is quite basic and the organization and layout of the app is quite higgledy pigeldy. It could certainly do with a re-work and some input from experienced clinicians.
