Review

"Pass Finals is the ideal book for quick revision. Each chapter covers core information in each of the general and specialist medicine areas. All chapters start with an overview of the examinations and investigations of each system before covering aetilogy, clinical features, investigations, management and complications associated with each disease of the relevant system...if you are still not clear everything is referenced to Kumar & Clark for you. Thoroughly recommended." 3rd Year Medical Student, Sphincter - Liverpool Medical Students' Society magazine, April 2004
is covered in note form making it easy to quickly look up a topic and then learn the relevant information. The book is based upon material from the popular Kumar & Clarke and is therefore a useful test of knowledge for those using big Kumar for revision." Medical Student, MAD Magazine, Barts and The London Students' Association, January 2004
to accompany the beloved Kumar and Clark textbook, 'Clinical Medicine'. Each chapter corresponds to the relevant chapter in the large Clinical Medicine textbook (5th Edition), and contains mostly lists of the core and relevant information from those chapters.
A bonus with this book is the selection of MCQs, EMQs, SAQs and essay questions at the end of each of the 19 chapters." Medical Student, GKT Gazette, May 2004
your course is more academic than clinical or your finals are OSCE, essays, long or short cases, Pass Finals teaches you, reminds you and tests you on what you need to know." Medical Student, University of Cardiff
superb revision tool as the topics can be read extremely quickly. It's like having a ready-prepared set of revision notes - who could resist that?" Medical Student, Oxford University Medical School Gazette, August 2004
