Publisher's Synopsis
Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with "on the go". Their highly affordable price represents great value for those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.
Topics reflect information needs stemming from today's integrated undergraduate & foundation courses:
- Common investigations (ECG, Chest X-Ray, etc)
- Clinical skills (procedures, patient examination, etc)
- Important and/or complex specialties in which students receive comparatively little dedicated training (psychiatry, renal medicine)
Key Points
- Highly affordable price and convenient pocket size format - fits in back pocket!
- Ear, nose & throat disorders account for a high proportion of the problems that students and junior doctors see during GP, A&E, paediatric & surgical rotations, but they receive little formal ENT training
- Descriptions of common disorders enhanced by clinical scenarios (Patient presents with...) which help students and trainees recognise and manage common presenting problems
Highly Commended at the BMA Medical Book Awards 2012
