Media Reviews
This useful review book allows medical students and medical graduates to review and self-assess their level of knowledge in the biomedical/basic sciences. The book's small size makes it very convenient to carry in a pocket for access in almost any environment. This would be a valuable tool for medical students and medical graduates, at any level of training, who are preparing for standardized exams (boards, licensing, specialty, etc.). * Doody's Review *
This book is a fantastic, unique resource, assessing the application of basic science to clinical problems. The problems are varied and realistic and so this is not just good exam preparation but it's also good fun! * Tom Kelley, Junior Doctor, UK *
I am a convert to this revision tool which uniquely has its assessments pitched at graded levels of rigour to meet the needs of medical students and junior doctors alike. The balance of clinical and medical sciences in the clinical sceanrio lead-ins and the answer feedbacks makes for an invaluable learning resource. * Dr Roger Searle, Director of Anatomy and Clinical Skills, The Medical School, University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK *
