MEDICINE is a revolutionary core textbook designed with students for students.

Clinically-orientated and focussed squarely on the core curriculum, MEDICINE delivers what medical students need to know in a manner in which they want to learn. MEDICINE has evolved out of close collaboration and planning with students, junior doctors, and teachers. The result is something refreshingly different – the result is something quite unique.

Content
MEDICINE successfully integrates basic science and clinical practice. The systems-based chapters all follow a common structure:

  • Structure and Function – the essential basics that underpin each system

  • Approach to the Patient – history and examination, clinical presentations, differential diagnosis and investigations

  • Diseases and their Management – all the common conditions that medical students need to know for future practice
This consistent, easy-to-navigate structure makes locating information simple and it is also tailored toward successful revision. All chapters have been updated and revised to follow the core curriculum and medical practice. A new chapter on the Human Aspects of Medicine covers the principles of medicine, ethics, law, and evidence-based medicine guidelines.

Features
Individual colour-coded features make MEDICINE even easier to use:
  • ‘At a Glance’ boxes: perfect for quick review and revision

  • ‘Clinical Presentations at a Glance’: excellent summaries to develop your clinical problem-solving skills

  • ‘Key Points’: alert you to essential information throughout

  • ‘Must Know’ checklists: highlight the key learning objectives in each chapter

  • ‘Further Reading’: your guide to clinical evidence from key books, journals and websites
Readership
  • Medical Students – an essential source of core knowledge and clinical practice

  • Junior Doctors – on medical rotations with its strong emphasis on clinical practice

  • Health Professionals – in need of an accessible and concise guide to modern medicine and medical practice
