Abstract In spite of years of tuition and examination, newly qualified doctors are often left inadequately prepared for real-world clinical practice. The major concern is that 'book knowledge' gleaned at medical school does not always translate to safe and effective practical knowhow.<br/><br/>Based on the author's many years of expertise as an educator globally, this book helps final-year students make the difficult transition to first-year doctors. Drawing on the latest evidence-based information, it focuses on aspects important to clinical practice in the areas of gastroenterology, cardiology and respiratory medicine such as differentials, investigations and management with full references provided throughout.<br/><br/>Also detailed are examination skills, although not the routine form of how to examine but what to be thinking when asked to examine: what conditions should be prevalent in a doctor's mind? And how can these conclusions be reached before eve seeing the patient? Practical knowledge like this defines an effective clinician.<br/><br/>Clear, concise and rigorous is its approach, this comprehensive volume is an indispensable companion to any new doctor in the above fields.
