Book Reviews of Foundations for Osteopathic Medicine
Book Review: An improvement
Summary: 3 Stars
Here is an honest review:
Foundations 2 is a much better book than Foundations 1. However that doesn't say much. Foundations 1 was basically an overpriced doorstop. Foundations 2 is a better read with significant improvement in writing style and applicability. However it still does not address very significant shortfalls in the original text. Namely that evidenced based applications of OMM and specific osteopathic evaluation techniques in the various specialties are not addressed adequately. The specialties are addressed entirely too theoretically with little real-life doctor applications. It does not flow as a text should but rather sputters and stops only to chug back to life a few pages later sounding in need of a serious oil change. The principle reason this book sells is because it is required by most of the DO schools. Otherwise students would not buy such a Titanic book. Unfortunately the new edition of the book should be out soon (next two to three years) and doubtfully will be much of an improvement.
