Review
From the reviews of the third edition:
“This update is intended to be a textbook for a course preparing those who would sit for the DMCC examination … . examinees and seasoned practitioners alike can benefit from this comprehensive discussion of medical humanitarian aid in austere situations. … It does a good job of outlining the information that any worker should understand before venturing into this type of environment. … it contains valuable information for those wishing to practice medicine in tenuous, under-resourced and/or unsafe international circumstances.” (Amy Elisa Stoesz, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2014)
