Thieme Releases Textbook on the Clinical Essentials for Women's Healthcare

New York/Stuttgart – “Obstetrics and Gynecology: The Essentials of Clinical Care,” written by an international team of experts, concentrates on the most important and common clinical issues in obstetrics and gynecology. This comprehensive book, published by Thieme, clearly depicts all the major subspecialties in the field and provides students and medical professionals with an excellent reference with up-to-date information for review as well as for use during clinical rotations.

“This book is written not only by OB/GYN practitioners but also researchers working on cutting-edge diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions in the management, treatment, and prevention of high risk pregnancies as well as for promoting general wellness and preventing chronic disease and illness throughout the lifespan [of the patient],” states author E. Albert Reece, MD, PhD, MBA.

The quality of this book and its unique features are a testament to the commitment and outstanding scholarship of the editors and contributors. 'Best Evidence' boxes have been included by the authors in order to highlight significant clinical trials and most chapters close with a summary of key points. Critical data and concepts are demonstrated via more than 200 illustrations. Additional features include a chapter dedicated to the legal and ethical issues in the field.

By purchasing “Obstetrics and Gynecology: The Essentials of Clinical Care,” readers obtain access to the innovative medical student website, WinkingSkull.com. With this interactive platform, users can study and review more than 500 questions and take advantage of its self-testing feature.

“...the book not only offers the most up-to-date information on evidence-based and “best practice” approaches to women’s healthcare...but also insights into why a particular approach or therapy is more effective than its alternatives,” says Dr. E. Albert Reece.
