Book info: Master Medicine: Physiology: A core text of human physiology with self assessment (Paperback, 329 pages) – Churchill Livingstone, 2007. Language: English.

This title is part of a series of books that reflects the trend towards a core curriculum and self-directed learning. The content is restricted to the ‘must know' core information presented in a synoptic style. The diagrams that support the text are in a style that the reader can remember and reproduce in examinations. Each chapter ends with a selection of self-assessment material and full explanatory answers. These consolidate and expand on the chapter contents.

• Concise synoptic (not telegraphic text).
• Appropriate self-assessment material.
• Only covers core, so student knows the whole book is essential.
• Includes key objectives.
• Contains simple and memorable diagrams for reproduction in exams.
• Ideal for learning as well as examination review, specifically trying to stimulate the student into assessing his/her own knowledge.
• The books in the series both complement other available major texts, but also contain enough material to stand in the own right.
• Provides examination practice.
• Part of co-ordinated series.

Editorial Reviews Review “These books are brilliant for taking on the road out to peripheral hospital placements, and cover all the essentials (plus a little bit more) on all the key topics. They have plenty of information to help explain those topics and subjects you see on the wards/in theatre…When time is a little short, and you simply need fast hard facts in an easy to read yet thorough way these books are simply perfect. I have no doubt in recommending them to my friends or any other medical student"
