Review: Must have for FNP students - As a current FNP student, I’ve found Pocket Primary Care to be an incredibly valuable resource. It’s compact and easy to carry, which makes it perfect for clinicals or study sessions on the go. The layout is clear and organized by common complaints and conditions, making it quick to find what I need—whether it’s a differential diagnosis, treatment guidelines, or follow-up recommendations. What I appreciate most is how straightforward and practical the information is. It’s not bogged down by excessive detail, but it gives just enough to guide decision-making in a primary care setting. It’s especially helpful when I need to quickly review management for conditions. While it’s not a replacement for deeper references or textbooks, it’s perfect for real-time refreshers and clinical application. I highly recommend it for anyone in NP school or even new grads starting out in primary care. It truly lives up to its name as a pocket guide and I reach for it often. Review: Great For Reference! - Bought this item to help me in clinic and on rounds. I like referencing ai and other sources but these Pocket Medicine books are fantastic for a quick reference of evidence based treatment options.

Amazing reference
I am a student nurse practitioner and needed a quick reference that was not my phone. It doesn't include every single treatment plan, or dosing for every possible antibiotic for a UTI, but there is a wealth of information regarding differentials and treatments that so far seem to be quite accurate to when I compare sections to uptodate. I am going to buy an extra set of dividers and tabs so I can quick reference info and add my own notes without writing on the binder itself. It has been a fantastic reference during clinicals and I wish I'd discovered this a lot earlier!

Compact wealth of information
This book is a compact size that has a wealth of clinical information needed in the primary care setting. It is a quick reference for students in primary care clinical rotations. It is also very useful for new graduates and for practicing health care providers.

Disappointed
The information is excellent. The dermatology pictures are black and white which are useless to me. Unfortunately I returned it. It is too expensive to keep and not appreciate 100% of it. Although the pages are delicate I could manage this.
