Cardiology To Impress: The Ultimate Guide For Students And Junior Doctors


Book Description

Cardiology to Impress is the ultimate guidebook for medical students preparing for the clinical experience. It is written in collaboration with top teaching consultants and newly qualified doctors who are familiar with the pitfalls of clinical attachments, and understand the fears and apprehensions when students are thrown into difficult exams and the hospital setting. This pocket-size handbook specifically outlines what medical students are to expect, and what is expected of them in clinics, theatres and in exam settings. It teaches how to be competent in front of senior doctors and provides useful tips on how to answer questions on ward rounds. This book does not mindlessly regurgitate facts, rather it tailors the facts to the clinical setting, thus bridging the gap between textbook knowledge and clinical practice in a way that enables the student to understand, and appreciate the clinical relevance of medical knowledge.




The Junior Doctor's Guide to Cardiology


Book Description

'The transition between medical student and junior doctor is both stressful and demanding. The learning curve is extremely steep, and even more so in the world of specialist medicine - Senior doctors expect a lot of their juniors and, as a result, people often feel out of their depth and may feel too embarrassed to tell their seniors when they don't understand something - ' - from the Preface Boost your confidence. This is a user-friendly manual for the junior doctor. Concise and easy to read, it is invaluable for day-to-day clinical cardiology while out on the wards. It provides a logical, stepwise guide through the more common problems encountered in cardiology and assists with clinical practice and decision making. Complications, prognoses and comprehensive explanations of investigations aid in understanding why certain tests are requested and how to interpret their results. The Junior Doctor's Guide to Cardiology helps you to make informed, confident decisions and gives you the assurance to optimise your time in cardiology. When I first entered medical school, a very wise senior tutor said to me, 'Collins, learn the basics and you won't go far wrong!' The problem is in defining the basics and how to identify them. I am sure this book will help you and hopefully entice you into the wonderful and expanding world of cardiology - good luck and don't forget 'learn the basics!' From the foreword by Peter Collins
