Overview

"SOAP for Emergency Medicine features 85 clinical problems with each case presented in an easy to read 2-page layout. Each step presents information on how that case would likely be handled. Questions under each category teach the students important steps in clinical care. The SOAP series is a unique resource that also provides a step-by-step guide to learning how to properly document patient care. Covering the problems most commonly encountered on the wards, the text uses the familiar ""SOAP"" note format to record important clinical information and guide patient care. SOAP format puts the emphasis back on the patient's clinical problem, not the diagnosis. This series is a practical learning tool for proper clinical care, improving communication between physicians, and accurate documentation. The books not only teach students what to do, but also help them understand why. Students will find these books a ""must have"" to keep in their white coat pockets for wards and clinics."

Reviews

The format, the content, [and] the amount of information included are all great reasons why this book is perfect for anyone rotating through emergency medicine. ... I like this format because it takes us through the way we are trained to think. It is very informative and I think that it would have helped me out tremendously when I rotated through my first EM rotation. 4th year medical student, Western University of Health Science The notes are good for learning how to approach a patient problem. They provide a schema for arranging your thoughts, which is especially tough to do early in the third year. ... I definitely think it could be helpful to students, especially in the early clinical months. 4th year medical student, University of Tennessee School of Medicine
