Dr. R P Pai

I have great pleasure in offering this testimonial.

Dr. CS Madgaonkar has done a great job in writing the book entitled
“Family Medicine – A Clinical and Applied Orientation”.

Though Dr. CS Madgaonkar is not a full-time teacher in a medical college, he has excelled like a formal pedagogue.  In the days of consumer oriented, globalized, e-focused medical practice this book is a value edition to the desk of a primary care physician.

Most informative & educative, this book focuses on current issues. I particularly liked the chapters ‘The difficult patient’ (Chapter 22), ‘Medical professionalism’ (Chapter 23) and ‘Comprehensive geriatric assessment’ (Chapter 27)

This book is a must for all primary care physicians, Departments of Community Medicine and Forensic Medicine.

In the days of recertification and accreditation this book is a worth investment.

I recommend this book without any hesitation to medical students for their internship.

God bless Dr. CSM and Jaypee for publishing this ready reckoner.

Salubriously,

"Family Medicine - A clinical and applied orientation" by CS Madgaonkar from Hubli is a good attempt for the depiction of family medicine in terms of basic principles, content, practice, prevention and research in family medicine.

Indeed, as a teacher for the past 37 years I could see the depth of knowledge of author in the field.

He has kept the syllabus of certain training in family medicine including DNB conducted by National Board of Examination.

I have recommended the book to college library and department library.

I wish the author success and I wish the Publisher the success.
