Basic Medical Science Text Books
 |
Gray's Anatomy (British Edition) This is a true masterpiece with incredible illustrations. You are not going to read this tomb - it is a collector's item for your bookshelf. Beautiful! |
 |
Berne and Levy's Physiology There are several good physiology text books each with its strengths and weaknesses. I like this one best - it is well rounded and gives precise explanations of human physiology. |
 |
Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology A bit too short for a textbook, a bit too long for a strict review book - but this "classic" is a favorite among many medical students.
|
 |
Molecular Biology of the Cell This textbook is mainly geared towards graduate students. On the other hand, molecular biology is going to be the future of Medicine and every student should have a good grasp of the concepts presented here. |
 |
Goodman and Gilman's Pharmacology The final word on mechanisms of action and therapeutic application of drugs. As a daily reference in clinical practice, "G&G" offers the optimal mix of basic science and clinical coverage as it pertains to effective drug therapy.
|
 |
Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease Too detailed for most medical students, but if you have a any interest in Pathology this would be your best choice. Beautifully illustrated! If you are looking for something shorter, go for the "Baby Robbins" or even the "Fetal Robbins". |
 |
Sherris Medical Microbiology This book includes thoroughly updated information on AIDS and other retroviruses, sexually transmitted diseases, a totally revised bacteriology section and more diagrams. Superb textbook! |
 |
Voet's Biochemistry It's a "toss-up" between Stryer and Voet. Stryer is "the classic", Voet is a bit more modern with emphasis on biochemical reactions. This is the stuff life is made from! Best choice for students who want to grasp biochemistry, not just pass the exams. |
Clinical Medicine Text Books
 |
The Merck Manual (17th Edition) A reference you cannot afford to be without. New Millennium Edition (contains reprint of the first edition 1899 - see how much has changed in 100 years!)
|
 |
Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine,
16th Edition The number one reference for internal medicine. Stresses biological principles and pathophysiology of diseases. Great reference work.
|
 |
Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 22nd Edition Similar to Harrison's but easier to read and contains more management details useful to the practitioner! Also on CD-ROM !
|
 |
Nelson's Pediatrics This is the big one. Great reference book, even if you are not becoming a Pediatrician! |
 |
Danforth's
Obstetrics and Gynecology Another big one. Also useful as a reference for your future practice. |
 |
Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry 7th edition January 2000. Like the title says: it's comprehensive. Highly recommended if you have any intellectual interest in the mind and its diseases. If not, get the "Baby Kaplan". |
