Great book throughout med school
By: Simon, about 1 year ago on 18 March 07
I've found this book to be the basis of most of my study through the first 3 years of the USydMP (and also a primer for much of 4th year) as it provides a reasonable background of *relevant* basic sciences as well as intergrated treatment of basic & clinical sciences, clinical presentations and investigations. Great book to use alone or alongside others! Simon, USyd MedIV
