This book is aimed at the medical student who has just survived two years of the basic pre-clinical sciences, with little in the way of patient contact or medical relevance in the course content. At this point, the typical medical student has absorbed a great deal of biochemistry, physiology and pathology, but knows little about how to approach a sick patient, how to take a history, or how to perform an examination. This book is a companion text that aims to ease the stressful transition from preclinical to clinical medicine and help students survive their first months on the ward.

Lecture Medical Genetics provides a concise and straightforward introduction to medical genetics. The text aims to give students a fundamental understanding of the science of genetics and molecular medicine and a knowledge of the core clinical conditions caused by genetic abnormalities.Previously titled Lecture Notes on Molecular Medicine , this new edition has a greater focus on clinical genetics while continuing to provide core information on the scientific background and advances in genetics and molecular medicine.Thoroughly revised and updated, Lecture Medical Genetics is an invaluable primer for any science student new to molecular biology and genetics, and an excellent resource for medical students, junior doctors and practicing clinicians requiring an understanding of scientific advances in the field and their impact on clinical medicine.
