This is of course the primary board review book for Occupational and Environmental Medicine physicians.I'm a current Occupational and Environmental Medicine resident, and I think the 5th edition is much better than the 4th. The quality of the writing is much better, the content has been updated, and it now has end-of-chapter review questions, which can be helpful for board review. I think it reads much more easily than the old edition as well.I have not finished reading it cover-to-cover yet, but I particularly like some of the more in-depth musculoskeletal topics as compared to the prior edition. The toxicology is quite good too, but of course it isn't comprehensive - but this is expected relative to how much content on that subject there is (i.e. how many toxic chemicals exist).
Excellent book. We have some aspect of legal nature that are, somehow, different in Brazil, but we have only one good Brazilian reference textbook in Occupational Medicine that, as all traditional textbooks, is too long to be read in the lapse of time you have left to read. Current Occupational & Environmental Medicine, like other books of this series, brings information and even solutions to problems in a very complete, clear to understand and concise manner that other books (specially reference textbooks) usually are not able to do. The series (Current) in a general way of speaking, sometimes go beyond traditional textbooks bringing a practical knowledge hard to obtain reference textbooks. I understand this book is an excellent way of getting into Occupational Medicine.
I am a recent occupational medicine residency graduate and studying for the boards. The content of the book seems well organized and up-to-date. However, the biggest problem is that there are numerous typos (generally related to grammar).
This edition is very elaborate and the incorporation of new chapters provides an up to date resource. Very comprehensive indeed
The information is essential for the study and practice of OEM, well-written and easy to use, great review for the Boards!
Very readable overview of the broad scope of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
Great book [...]
I've received the book on time. The book is original one. There's no problem so far, I'm so glad with this transaction. I recommend everyone. Thanks.
