About this title

Review

"Each chapter is concisely and clearly presented and begins with a list of learning objectives. Important points are put in pink boxes - if you learn nothing else from a chapter, these points are vital. Clearly labelled diagrams and tables abound; naturally for a book on the respiratory system, there are plenty of x-ray plates too." Univadis Review 148, March 2008

 

"Medical students must gain knowledge about vast amounts of facts and the aim of the Crash Course books is to bring them this knowledge, in compact readable volumes which integrate with clinical practice. Each chapter is concisely and clearly presented and begins with a list of learning objectives. The concept of producing a book written by medical students for medical students seems to me to be an excellent idea - after all, they know better than anyone the sorts of pressures faced by today's medical student. Finally, there is the extra reassurance that the text is checked by the Faculty Advisor- in this case Dr Ian Adcock of the Royal Brompton." Univadis Review, July 2009
