Frameworks for Internal Medicine

By Andrew S. Parsons, MD, MPH

Description:
Frameworks for Internal Medicine introduces an innovative, systematic approach to mastering differential diagnosis — a critical skill in clinical medicine. Tailored for medical students, interns, and early residents, this unique resource helps learners develop the structured clinical reasoning needed to confidently approach the most commonly encountered internal medicine problems.

Using a highly visual, case-based, Q&A-style format, each chapter walks readers through real-world scenarios and step-by-step diagnostic thinking. This approach fosters deeper understanding of pathophysiology, enhances diagnostic accuracy, and builds the foundation for success during internal medicine clerkships, rotations, and clinical practice.

Whether used as a study aid, teaching tool, or on-the-ward reference, Frameworks for Internal Medicine empowers learners to think like clinicians and approach complex cases with confidence and clarity.
