Being a medical student in the modern era is extremely challenging because of the large quantity of very technical material that the student must reliably absorb and reproduce with high accuracy. Industrious students who succeed in learning the required information find that they lack interactive high quality material on which to test themselves. Unfortunately, this problem is worsened because professors are either too busy to write practice questions or are jealously guarding potential exam questions.
To help with this ubiquitous situation this book of short answer questions which reinforce core material in the basic medical sciences has been produced. The text is comprised of 30 "tests" each of which is based around a classical clinical scenario. The tests cover the major pre-clinical subjects/sciences including medical ethics, histology, pathology, pharmacology, medical statistics, biochemistry, anatomy, microbiology, psychology and medical genetics.

One of the subjects that medical students find very challenging is pharmacology not only because of its exacting clinical requirements but also because it is based on a subject that modern medical students also do not enjoy - chemistry! The good news is that the list of commonly used drugs and the principles underlying their use is not endless.
This book organizes the key pharamcological information into four sections that are further subdivided into multiple choice questions, short answer questions and viva voce questions. These high quality questions are valuable and authentic because they are based on common clinical scenarios that medical students and junior doctors are likely to experience.
Accordingly, this text will be helpful to medical students throughout the world who are preparing either for pharmacology exams or final exams.
