The purpose of this unique title is to provide internal medicine residents and physicians, as well as other professionals engaged in internal medicine practice, with a single resource of comprehensive, abundantly helpful, time-saving training and practice notes.  Developed by a now highly experienced hospitalist physician during his three years’ residency training in internal medicine, as well as during his current role as a practicing hospitalist, these notes provide a broad framework and tool not only for the learning and practicing of internal medicine after graduation from professional schools and during training, but after residency training as well.

The majority of the notes were presented as one to a few sentences, rendering the information succinct and easy to digest. The notes also provide simple, key information in patient care including, but not limited to, the workup and management of a wide range of clinical scenarios. The book was divided into three general areas -- 1) daily notes taken during the author’s residency training (in the format of a diary with the original dates but updated knowledge and information), 2) notes for outpatient medicine and clinical subspecialties, and 3) notes as a hospitalist. The daily notes were based on knowledge and experiences the author learned from actual clinical cases (workup, medication regimen, patient education, and sometimes patient and family interactions). The notes for outpatient medicine and clinical subspecialties were based on specific topics/subspecialties and were heavily clinically oriented with a focus on patient care. The addition of notes as a hospitalist was based on the author’s duties as a hospitalist, which requires knowledge and understanding of acute neurological and neurosurgical issues, various types of cancers, and some common yet complicated or uncommon clinical scenarios of infectious diseases.  

A major contribution to the internal medicine education literature, will appeal to a wide readership, including resident physicians, practicing physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners in internal medicine.
