Synopsis

This book is a one-volume core revision text covering general (internal) medicine, designed to stimulate the student into assessing his/her own knowledge during self-directed learning and exam preparation. Promotes self-directed learning with motivation coming from self-identification of strengths and weaknesses leading to an assessment of needs.

The structure of the book will be:

each chapter starts with key objectives

a core text of a clinical system, starting with a basic description of the normal physiology and anatomy

a self-assessment section at the end of each chapter allowing the student to assess progress in the application of the facts to common clinical problems.

concise synoptic (not telegraphic text) with appropriate self-assessment material

only covers core, so student knows the whole book is essential

includes basic descriptions of normal relevant anatomy and physiology at start of each system

includes key objectives in learning medicine

contains simple and memorable diagrams for reproduction in exams

idea for learning as well as examination review, specifically trying to stimulate the student into assessing his/her own knowledge

the book compliments other available texts such as Davidson, Kumar and Souhami rather than duplicating their material, in particular, their approach and style
