Also known as GP note, "Pol" note, PP note Medical students/ pre-interns/ Family physicians use various notes to guide their general practice at the begining, specially drug doses, common treatments for common diseases etc. These "guides" have been used by many seniors but need to be careful revision before prescribing.
