Medical school is full of unfamiliar and often frightening experiences for students. In the first year, a student must move away from home, balance personal finances, assimilate large volumes of information, learn practical skills, pass high stakes exams, and face a range of unique experiences. The Oxford Handbook for Medical School provides an essential, practical guide for all students, whether you have just received your offer, you're eager to succeed on the wards, or you're about to start your final exams. This handbook includes quick-access summaries covering the crucial information for your preclinical years and for each clinical specialty. With bullet lists of the key information you need to know, and helpful mnemonics throughout, this is a concise yet thoroughly comprehensive guide.

Written by a team of consultants and recent students, now successfully graduated and embarking on their careers, this book will be your closest companion right up to graduation. More than a survival guide, it will help you navigate the bewildering range of opportunities medical school offers, showing you how to make the most of your time, so you are fully prepared for your future career.

Reviews for Oxford Handbook for Medical School

"""...a great summation of the information needed to succeed in medical school. Had this been available to me when I was starting medical school, it would have saved me hours of research online to find the answers"" - Reviewer Feedback - Recently graduated medical student""...would definitely be useful for those who are yet to start and for those in their training already. I would have bought the book before medical school, but would definitely recommend it"" - Reviewer Feedback - Current medical student""I would highly recommend this book as it does contain a lot of information which I wished I knew in earlier years of medical school."" - Reviewer Feedback - Final year medical student"
