Obstetrics And Gynecology

by Charles R.B. Beckmann (Editor), Frank W. Ling (Editor), Roger P. Smith (Editor)

Established as a standard core textbook for the OB/GYN clerkship, Beckmann's Obstetrics and Gynecology is now in its thoroughly updated Fifth Edition. This edition follows the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics' newest Educational Objectives, which are listed at the front of the book and correlated specifically to each chapter. Over 2,200 up-to-date study questions and answers are included both in the book and on a free bound-in CD-ROM. A new two-color art program makes the illustrations more vivid and effective. Updated coverage includes new material on healthcare for women and medical and surgical conditions of pregnancy.

SO GOOD

[Keenan Boulnemour · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very readable. Great intro to OBGYN before clerkship starts. Will likely reference during the rotation.

I began reading this book to facilitate my knowledge in the field. I am now at 25% of it. I can say that the positive things are that it is very simple and easy to read. You can even take it on vacations. It also can be read by people who are concerned with this issue like new mothers because it contains good information on the normal situations which are sometimes missed by other medical books. Graphs and tables are also good and interesting. The bad side of the book is that it is not enough for a medical student. It does not go into enough details of many important medical situations. I do not recommend it for a student who wants a comprehensive explanation of many medical abnormal situations.

Saya lupa kalo punya buku ini. Hahaha, menjelang week 8 di stase Obgyn, baru nyadar kalo punya. Sebelumnya cuma baca dari penerbit Sarwono. Buku ini ringkas tapi mencukupi lah kalo buat dokter muda
Poin plusnya, ada latihan soal (dan kunci jawabannya) di bagian belakang

Satu lagi: bukunya gak terlalu berat :)

As a future ob/gyn, I found this book to be very enlightening. It starts way before conception, focusing on what a woman should do before planning a baby (such as taking folic acid) and goes well past labor and delivery. It also has a few graphic pictures, so it is not for the faint of heart. It is full of medical jargon, so if you are interested in the field, it's definitely a good book to have.

Readable and well organized with good illustrations, my only complaint is that there aren't any questions in the book. Fortunately, there are several sources of online questions that go well with it, since it closely follows the APGO learning objectives. The pre-highlighting of key points makes it better for reviewing than most texts of this density.

Some things are great, t there's a lot of fluff. Also, they sometimes don't talk about how to treat certain things (i.e. Placental acreta etc). But overall it was an easy read. The cancer sections are very detailed, if you're into gyn onc.

Nice concise book to keep on hand for my ob/gyn rotation. I didn't feel like I needed any extra supplements and it covered almost every topic I encountered in practice and in my class objectives.

very well written for ob/gyn clerkship, don't know yet if it will be useful for the shelf exam.

Hey this book has saved my life, and the lives of a few women and children from my ignorance. If I ever do Obstetrics again I'll probably have to read it again.
