The first edition of this book published four years ago and quickly became established as one of the most relied-upon resources for preparing for fam- ily practice board examinations. We are gratified that so many residents, students, and clinicians found the book helpful, and we have appreciated re- ceiving your comments and suggestions over the last few years.
