The early years of medical school encompass a significant amount of new information covering normal body function and disease processes essential to understand clinical medicine. Efficiently studying the appropriate breadth and depth of medical science topics appropriate for your course can feel a daunting task. Medicine in a Day 1: Medical Sciences Revision Notes: Physiology, Anatomy, Embryology, Pathology, Cell Biology, Microbiology and more—for Medical Students is here to help! It covers just the key content you need to know, in one convenient volume, designed for quick study and effective retention. Using an integrated, rapid revision notes format supported by clear diagrams and ‘clinical relevance’ boxes, it serves as an invaluable stand-alone text, or an excellent companion to other Medicine in a Day volumes which focus on the core clinical material required in the medical curriculum and as outlined in the Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA) content map. Together, the volumes in the Medicine in a Day series are a powerful resource for students, offering essentials-only coverage in a consistent format—from day one of medical school through to graduation.
