Summary
Written with busy medical students and house officers in mind, Pharmacology Recall minimizes the time spent reading and identifying important material and maximizes the time available for actual learning. As part of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins' Recall Series, Pharmacology Recall uses the concise, two-column question-and-answer format to facilitate quick learning. Common Board questions and mnemonics appear throughout the book to facilitate memorization and illustrations are provided to clarify important concepts. A Pharmacology Power Review chapter presents a unique bird's-eye view of pharmacology and can be used to review large amounts of high-yield information quickly before medical school and USMLE exams.
