Book description
Medical students and junior and senior doctors are frequently called
upon to give research presentations, write reports, and answer exam
questions on specific areas of medical research.
Understanding Medical Research: The Studies That Shaped
Medicine is an exciting new title that offers a unique and
valuable approach to understanding historically influential studies in
important areas of medicine.
Featuring chapters from Sir Liam Donaldson and Sir David Weatherall,
amongst others, world leading researchers identify ten primary
research papers that have shaped the direction of research in their
given topic, examining why they were carried out, key findings, and
how they changed the field.
Each chapter also contains short sections on 'Key Questions
Remaining' which outline outstanding areas where further research is
needed, and a link to 'Key Laboratories/Clinics' which point the
reader to major research groups of international standing.
Covering the seminal research in core areas of medicine,
Understanding Medical Research provides an authoritative
framework on each topic for medical students and healthcare
professionals.
