Davidson's Self-assessment in Medicine

About this book

The companion question book to Davidson's Principles and Practice of Medicine, edited in Edinburgh by Deborah Wake and Patricia Cantley, with each chapter written by a specialty expert. Questions are built around clinical scenarios and ask for the best-fit answer, followed by a full explanation. Thirty-four chapters follow the parent textbook's order, from clinical decision-making, prescribing, genetics and immunology through poisoning, acute medicine and infection to each specialty, including gastroenterology and hepatology, then maternal, adolescent and elderly medicine, oncology and palliative care. Laboratory reference ranges and a colour section of clinical images close the book. Written for final-year students and junior doctors, in the style of modern postgraduate examinations.
