Oxford Handbook of Medical Sciences, First Edition
Oxford University Press, July 2006, Pages: 946
- An ideal introduction to the basic medical sciences for junior medical students, and a perfect revision guide for senior students
- Divided into systems-based sections to mirror modern medical teaching practices
- The medical sciences are made clinical relevant throughout, and the book is cross-referenced to the Handbook of Clinical Medicine
- Illustrated with almost 200 clear diagrams and photographs
The Handbook of Medical Sciences has been written by biomedical scientists and clinicians to explain the fundamental scientific principles that underpin clinical medicine, and to provide students with a firm grounding in the basic sciences. Frequent cross-referencing with the Handbook of Clinical Medicine helps to highlight the clinical relevance of specific issues. Deliberately divided into systems-based sections that mirror modern medical teaching strategies, this handbook begins with a clear, easily digestible account of basic cell physiology and biochemistry. It then moves on to an investigation of the traditional piers of medicine (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology and pharmacology) integrated in the context of each of the major systems relevant to the human body. Well illustrated with clear diagrams and colour images, it will prove especially useful for students on problem-based learning courses who are in need of a concise and user-friendly book, and will also serve as a refresher for those doing membership exams.
Readership: Aimed primarily aimed at medical students in the first two years of their course, this handbook will also provide a useful reference source for clinical medical students and for science students studying any of the traditional biomedical sciences.
