User friendly reference
As a nurse practitioner in endo I find this little reference book a good intro to endo and a starting place for those who are not specializing and/or those who are RNs to learn more about the complicated world of endo. I did not learn a great deal of endo in nursing years back. This book provides a good starting point. The residents find it useful as well.
