Book Reviews of Veterinary Clinical Epidemiology: A Problem-Oriented Approach, Second Edition
Book Review: targeted to its purpose
Summary: 4 Stars
As far as statistics-based books go, this one is a fair read and does an excellent job of placing the student squarely in the middle of the elements of epidemiology that are important to a budding veterinarian. Well organized and a careful balance of theory and practical knowledge this book is not really intended to teach you how to be a practicing epidemiologist. If that is your hope, then certainly there are texts for that. It was written very specifically to give budding veterinarians a working knowledge of statistics, epidemiological thinking and disease control concepts important to veterinary practice. If you want to be able to crunch numbers and solve problems by hand, this may not necessarily be the text for you - those books are certainly out there. But if you like statistics written with a philosophical leaning and an emphasis on understanding of the place of epidemiology in veterinary medicine, this is a great place to start - its short compared to many epi texts and serves its intended purpose quite well.
Yeah, and Dr. Smith really is a super nice guy too.
Summary of Veterinary Clinical Epidemiology: A Problem-Oriented Approach, Second Edition
Approaches and techniques of clinical epidemiology have become increasingly prominent in veterinary literature. This second edition of Veterinary Clinical Epidemiology: A Problem-Oriented Approach reflects the increasing recognition of the role of clinical epidemiology by focusing on the application of epidemiologic principles and techniques of problems regularly faced by veterinary practitioners. Numerous examples from veterinary literature indicate how experience with patients can be used to explore issues of importance in the practice of veterinary medicine while controlling for bias, confounding, and chance. The first part of the book focuses on the application of epidemiology in medical decision-making, while the second part focuses on the epidemiology of disease in populations and outbreak investigation. Included in this text are a glossary and an extensive bibliography, as well as myriad updates to reflect the expanding use of epidemiologic methodology in clinical research. Veterinary Clinical Epidemiology: A Problem-Oriented Approach serves as both a teaching resource for veterinary epidemiology and a reference on the application of epidemiologic methods in veterinary clinical research.Biological Sciences Books
