"Crash Course" is a revision series for students on system based and integrated courses. An illustrated outline format in bite-sized chunks makes the content easy to absorb. Hints and Tips and Comprehension Check boxes are built-in features designed to make the series student-friendly. A practice exam at the end enables students to assess their level of understanding. Clinical titles are written by a senior consultant and a junior doctor who has recent experience of being a student - making the books as relevant as possible for current medical students.
