The book begins with information on culture competence and humility and developing a relationship with patients.…. Each chapter includes evidence-based practice in physical examination boxes, clinical pearls, tables, illustrations, pictures, and information on specific patient populations such as children, the elderly, and transgender and gender-diverse patients…. This updated book…continues to provide interprofessional health professionals with the essentials of the history and physical examination while adding information in important areas including care of LGBTQ+ populations, updated information regarding controversaries, such as in cancer care, and updated evidence for incorporating new research into clinical practice and decision-making…. The handbook and online resource are helpful to use in the clinical setting. *4 stars*" --©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Suzanne M Allen, MD, MPH (University of Washington School of Medicine)
