DEDICATION
During our training and careers, we have had the privilege to learn from many of the great physicians in the fields of obstetrics
and reproductive medicine. These giants taught us the importance of basing clinical care on good scientific evidence—decades before
the phrases “evidence-based medicine” and “best practices” became part of the medical lexicon. They inspired us to be logical,
meticulous, curious, and courageous. With great admiration and appreciation, we dedicate this edition of our Williams Obstetrics
Study Guide to our heroes: Jack Pritchard, Paul McDonald, Peggy Whalley, Norman Gant, Ken Leveno, and Gary Cunningham.
