"As a PA educator, I could easily see incorporating this book into our set of references for at least two different courses. I appreciate that it is particularly tailored to PA education. The updates do justify a new edition, especially since there have been several changes to the standards and competencies for PA education, and the healthcare system overall. I greatly appreciate the scope of this book." Reviewed by Hilary Petersen, MPAS, PA-C (Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine) Doody's Score: 90, 4 Stars!
