,Praise for 101 Primary Care Case Studies
Dr. Wijesinghe’s book is not only a great multidisciplinary learning tool, but really highlights the
best of evidence-based practice and interprofessional approaches to patient care.
Dr. Beth Smolko, DMSc, PA-C
President, American Academy of Physician Assistants
Dr. Sam Wijesinghe has assembled a group of primary care providers to craft an outstanding work-
book of 101 common problems in practice. Each one reads like well-presented grand rounds that
are informative, current, and concise. A perfect resource for the student who is encountering a new
problem for the first time. A superior way to learn.
Thomas E. Piemme, MD
Emeritus Professor, George Washington University
A multidisciplinary group of primary care providers led by Dr. Wijesinghe has put together an
exceptional collection. Each scenario is well presented in a succinct format with evidence-based
evaluation and treatment. Students learn well from case study presentations making this a perfect
resource to build their knowledge base.
Dr. Cindy Cooke, DNP, FNP-C, FAANP
Adjunct Faculty at the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota, and
AANP past president
The case study method is a time-honored approach to clinical teaching. Dr. Wijesinghe has assembled
a seasoned group of expert clinicians and educators to produce a useful volume for students and prac-
ticing clinicians that provides a welcome dose of caring along with the curing.
Dr. James F. Cawley, MPH, PA-C, DHL (Hon)
Professor, School of PA Practice, Florida State University;
Visiting Professor, Scholar-in-Residence PA Leadership and
Learning Academy University of Maryland, Baltimore
These primary care–based case studies are wonderfully composed to elicit the required critical
thinking skills essential for patient care. I especially enjoyed the clinician insights at the conclusion
of each case study that revealed their thought processes. Include this book by Dr. Wijesinghe in
your resources to learn compassionate and competent primary care.
Dr. Stephen A. Ferrara, DNP, FNP, FAANP, FNAP
Associate Professor/Executive Director,
The Nurse Practitioner Association, New York State
This compilation of cases commonly encountered by primary care providers outlines a systematic
and a practical approach to evaluation and management. I have no doubt that this book will be an
invaluable source of learning and reference, not only for students in medical training, but also for
all primary care providers.
