Synopsis

This exciting new series of books presents fundamental concepts of medicine in a self-teaching format that complements the self-testing format of the current Pre-Test series. Each book in the series contains three to five chapters covering individual concepts integrally related to each other. Concepts in the series are chosen from those thought to be most difficult by medical students. The authors-all master teachers-write their chapters according to a specific, self-teaching format designed to help the student gain an understanding of these challenging concepts. Innovative teaching techniques are employed throughout. Each chapter "stands by itself" as a complete teaching unit on a particular subject, however each chapter also leads the reader to an understanding of the position of the particular concept within the greater body of medical knowledge. The format reinforces problem solving skills across the basic science and clinical disciplines and therefore represent an important study aid for the revised problem-oriented board examination.
