Learning medicine

Seventeenth edition

Learning Medicine is a must-read for anyone thinking they might want to take

up a career in medicine. Whatever your background, whether you are a school-

leaver or a mature student, if you are interested in ﬁnding out more about being

a doctor, medical-school life, and the details of how to get a place at medical

school, this is the book for you.

Learning Medicine has been in continuous publication since 1983. Over its

many editions the information has been regularly and fully updated and adapted

to reﬂect the changing climate in medical education. It has become a classic.

The seventeenth edition has been revised throughout to bring you up to date on

practical details about entry as well as the latest changes in the curriculum.

In this edition, for the ﬁrst time, the professional pitfalls facing medical students

and doctors are set out by a barrister with immense experience of doctors in difﬁ-

culty. This new post-Shipman chapter will be useful throughout a medical lifetime.

Written by a leading academic, a GP, a barrister, and a graduate medical student,

this deﬁnitive careers guide gives a true insight into life as a student and what it

means to be a doctor. It will be invaluable in helping tomorrow’s doctors decide for

themselves about their future careers.

From reviews of previous editions:

“This is a ﬁrst-rate book which must be read by anyone considering a career in

any discipline in medicine, because it is an entire way of life. The book is full of

common sense and knowledge.”

S HEILA A LLEN S CHOOL L IBRARIAN

“This little volume (the fourteenth edition) contains everything that is required by

the aspirant in medical training and also answers questions which probably would

not be thought about. Particularly valuable are the details of specialisation and

the requirements for this. This little volume is a must for all students (and their

parents!).”
