Sinossi

This series of books reflects the trend towards a core curriculum and self-directed learning. The content is restricted to the 'must know' core information presented in a synoptic style. The diagrams that support the text are in a style that the reader can remember and reproduce in examinations. Each chapter ends with a selection of self-assessment material and full explanatory answers. These consolidate and expand on the chapter contents.

The series covers the entire curriculum in approximately twelve discipline-based volumes. This volumes presents an integrated coverage of microbiology and infectious disease. Despite the use of problem- and/or topic-based curricula students still respond to the security of a well-ordered presentation of the basic information by traditional discipline.

  • Concise text of the essential core material
  • Accompanying self assessment material ideal for self-directed learning
  • Simple line drawings of a style that can be easily reproduced in examinations
  • New smaller format to fit on bookshop shelves.
  • New internal design to look more up to date.
  • Much stronger series cover design to encourage bookshops to display as a series.
  • Increased self-assessment
  • Includes the new OSCE style questions that are increasingly used in examinations.
  • More consistent use of learning objectives.
  • Contents refined to take account of comments on first edition.
