Reviews
5 Star Reviews:
"I found that this book encapsulated all the information I needed to know as a second year, and came across interesting areas which I imagine would be especially useful for students in their clinical years. This book also includes starter questions at the beginning of each chapter, with answers provided so that testing your learning is incorporated into the text." Amazon reviewer
"As a second year student I found endocrinology overwhelming. This book has helped with my revision by breaking down individual topics explaining the basics before applying them to clinical scenarios." Amazon reviewer
"I personally love this book because many books gloss over key concepts assuming that they have been previously understood- this book breaks down the underlying principles to allow you to build your knowledge from first principles." Amazon reviewer
