Synopsis

In the UK, undergraduate-level medicine has traditionally been taught in a master-apprentice style, with information about diagnosis and treatment being passed on in a didactic way and with slow updating. This has led to many books being simplistic and relatively brief. Medicine is not so straightforward and learning about the aetiology, diagnosis and management of conditions demands a much greater flexibility of thought than is apparent in most of the current textbooks.A textbook that appeals to students with enquiring scientific minds is required. This invaluable volume covers the main topics of obstetrics and gynaecology that an undergraduate needs to learn, but with more background scientific information. This contributes to a better understanding of why the disorder occurs and to a logical grasp of how the treatment works. Therefore, the book can be used in the early stages of preparation for the MRCOG examination. The authors, who are experts in their fields, have written clearly, keeping the student in mind. They have been constantly treating patients and are involved in undergraduate education.

About this title

Review

..".this book is a useful addition to the current range of undergraduate textbooks. In certain areas, the book provides more information than a medical student is likely to need in order to pass an examination ... it will be a useful adjunct to students wishing to relate clinical findings and conditions, to the basic sciences behind the clinical problems."
