Specializes in Preventive Medicine

Key Health/Ds Info: Unlike md records, pt records should be highly organized to track all problems, tests (explicit data, not just md interpret.), treatments ; results of treatment strategies over time. (mds typically only make short-term judgements/recommendations.) the person with the most vested interest is the person, not the md. The records need to be highly organized because nearly all issues overlap.
