Pocket Tutor Clinical Examination: Second Edition

Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with on the go, at a highly-affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment.  

Topics reflect information needs stemming from todays integrated undergraduate and foundation courses::

• Common presentations
• Investigation options (e.g. ECG, imaging)
• Clinical and patient-orientated skills (e.g. examinations, history-taking)

The highly-structured, bite-size content helps novices combat the fear factor associated with day-to-day clinical training and provides a detailed resource that students and junior doctors can carry in their pocket.
