Description : The transition from preclinical to clinical medicine is as difficult as it is exciting. Medical students at this seminal point in their journey are yearning to combine their knowledge with their communication skills to make diagnoses and formulate management plans. Clinical Reasoning for Medical Students takes the reader through the thought processes that should be followed as they take a history from a patient. This includes generating a list of plausible differentials, excluding dangerous causes and, ultimately, arriving at a diagnosis and management plan. In clinical exams, as in real life, medical students and junior doctors are required to access their knowledge on the spot to answer questions and explain their reasoning. Our extensive Differentials in Detail section and Bridge Box diagrams provide robust frameworks to facilitate rapid recall of clinical information in both the exam room and hospital wards. This book will 'Bridge the Gap' between the preclinical and clinical realms of medicine and make the transition considerable smoother and more enjoyable.
