Reviews for The Junior Medical Officer's Guide to the Hospital Universe: A Survival Manual

“a valuable compass for successfully navigating working in a hospital and surviving as a junior medical officer... it’s an easy and interesting read as the language is authentic and real... Each chapter is a treasure trove of insights, covering everything from the art of effective communication with patients, families and colleagues to tips for managing ward rounds and keeping up with discharge summaries... It makes a great graduation gift for medical students and I strongly recommend it to all overseas trained doctors entering the workforce in an Australian hospital.” - Kay Dunkley, Doctor Wellbeing Consultant for Australian Medical Association Victoria Branch, for VicDoc
