Publisher's Synopsis
"Learning Medicine" is about just that: why, how, and what it is like. Peter Richards, dean of a London medical school, sets out the facts about the entry requirements, selection procedure, and different curriculums offered by British medical schools. He also has his own informed opinion on the less definable qualities that a career in medicine calls for, and understands the doubts and difficulties that may arise as well as the rewards. Illustrated by Paul Cox "Learning Medicine" gives a clear picture of the life of a medical student and outlines the choices to be made when it comes to later postgraduate training and employment. Essential reading for anyone considering a career in medicine, this new edition has been revised to include up to date details of British medical schools' current requirements.
