Oxford Handbook of Medical Sciences

All you need to know about the science that underpins medicine. Written by biomedical scientists and clinicians to disseminate the fundamental scientific principles that underpin clinical medicine, the OHMS provides a clear, easily digestible account of basic cell physiology and biochemistry and an investigation of the traditional piers of medicine (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology and pharmacology) integrated in the context of each of the major systems relevant to the human body. Cross-referenced to the OHCM, it is the ideal introduction to the basic medical sciences for junior medical students, and a perfect revision guide for senior students.
