Designed to be as easy to understand as it is comprehensive, Kumar and Clark's Clinical Medicine is the definitive guide for medical students and doctors in training.

Revised and updated to reflect the structure of modern medical care, an all-new acute medicine chapter focuses on the initial, problem-based assessment of the unwell patient. Chapters on medical specialties explore the diagnosis and management of patients with chronic disease across the spectrum of systems-based disorders. Sections on the practice of medicine, medicine in society and medicine throughout life explore medicine in its wider context, addressing the health needs of the population as well as specific patient groups.

Descripción

Designed to be as easy to understand as it is comprehensive, Kumar and Clark's Clinical Medicine is the definitive guide for medical students and doctors in training.

Revised and updated to reflect the structure of modern medical care, an all-new acute medicine chapter focuses on the initial, problem-based assessment of the unwell patient. Chapters on medical specialties explore the diagnosis and management of patients with chronic disease across the spectrum of systems-based disorders. Sections on the practice of medicine, medicine in society and medicine throughout life explore medicine in its wider context, addressing the health needs of the population as well as specific patient groups.

This book has been the must-have text for medical students and doctors in training for over 35 years. The eleventh edition has been fully updated and restructured to suit the needs of a contemporary audience.
