In Medicine at a Glance, the editor and expert author team have produced a concise revision text, which provides medical students with a unique introduction and guide to the core curriculum in medicine.

Medicine at a Glance follows the familiar, double–page format of the at a Glance series. This excellent book is divided into two sections covering over 60 clinical presentations and over 150 diseases. The clinical presentations section focuses on the signs and symptoms of common medical presentations. Topics cover the differential diagnoses of common complaints, together with simple approaches to making a diagnosis. The section on medical diseases covers the major medical conditions in a logical way, providing the reader with the basic facts necessary for an understanding of each topic.

The book s simplicity of structure and fantastic colour summary diagrams combine to provide a vital tool for recall of key facts relevant to the medical course. Medicine at a Glance will be an indispensable guide for busy medical students and will be useful as an aide–m�moire for examinations and for work in the clinic and on the ward.

Published Reviews of the 1st Edition

"I would definitely consider this another ′must have′.

.This book is ideal for any student studying Medicine, and really at any level.

.it has everything in it you could need for Med exams; being able to easily identify the main things about the main conditions means you can realistically know enough about a range of topics to impress your examiners. In short, I cannot recommend this book to all students enough– put it on your list for next year."

"As a revision aid this hefty book is fantastic, and is detailed enough for most subjects. Of particular note are the sections on hyper– and hypothyroidism, which clears up a topic that for some reason has students confused more often than not...

...As a final year student, I have finally realised what the ′At a Glance′ series books are all about: revising what you have already learnt...

...I have become a convert and I definitely recommend this book to all final year students in particular."
