Titles in the Pocket Tutor series give practical guidance on subjects that medical students and foundation doctors need help with “on the goâ€, at a highly affordable price that puts them within reach of those rotating through modular courses or working on attachment. Topics reflect information needs stemming from today’s integrated undergraduate & foundation courses: Common investigations (ECG, imaging, etc) Clinical skills (procedures, patient examination, etc) Professional development (ethics, statistics, etc) Clinical specialties that students perceive as too small to merit a textbook (psychiatry, renal medicine) Highly structured, bite-size content helps novices combat the “fear factor†associated with day to day clinical training, and provides “just enough†for a new rotation.
