Media Reviews
This book is gold for the lazy medical student. The information is presented as a series of double page spreads and is accompanied by 'efficient' diagrams and tables. I am more than inclined to believe the British student quoted at the back of this book saying this is all that he/she needed to pass the final medical exam. That said, this book is also for the studious medical student. Need a quick refresher before hitting the wards? Hello. Need a framework for memorizing all the information you're reading in Harrisons etc? Hello hello. Yes, once you start using this book, you won't say goodbye to it, at least in medical school. Gube Magazine, September 2006, Melbourne University Medical Students Association A very useful book for finalists looking to scan through all the main pathologies with fantastic colour illustrations and diagrams to guide your reading and act as useful memory aids. Medical Student, St. Andrews University Fantastic revision tool before finals with all the breadth of information you need and full colour, clearly laid out diagrams. Medical Student, St. Georges Medical School Maximise your time by reading Medicine at a Glance. It has easy to read, clear and logical text and shows you everything you need to know as a medical student. Highly recommended! Medical Student, University of East Anglia. The most up-to-date and best presented clinical medicine text on the market. It contains succinct and clear explanations of the medical conditions any student is expected to know. A student favourite. Medical Student, Nottingham University 'Pitched perfectly at the finalist, this beautifully illustrated text has everything' Final Year Student, Oxford University
