PD x MD Rheumatology

FIRSTConsult is a new evidence-based online clinical information system, designed to support decision making with practical clinical information. The content is continuously updated by expert contributors - who synthesize multiple information resources and deliver updated thinking on the latest in evaluation, diagnosis, management, outcomes and prevention.

Based on the breakthrough FIRSTConsult electronic parent, the PDxMD series employs the same comprehensive approach in a book format, organized to support decision making at the point and time of care.

* Summary Information
