Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology

Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology: The Essentials is an accessible collection of case study scenarios ideal for physiology and pharmacology revision for pharmacy, medical, biomedical science, clinical science and healthcare students. The book is designed to help students understand the relevance and the clinical implications of the topics covered in physiology and pharmacology courses and will help them link and organize subject specific material in their minds, determine the key points, and evaluate the progress of their learning. It is recommended for self-directed learning and exam revision. Clearly structured and organized by major organ systems, the book contains detailed information in terms of the way in which disease related signs and symptoms inform diagnosis and treatment. Each chapter includes intended learning outcomes and model answers with detailed explanations to help students gain the necessary understanding of the theory underpinning each case study scenario. The book is designed to reflect the recent move to problem-based learning employed by many Pharmacy and Medical schools. There are few texts currently available that take this approach and the proposed text will offer the student a useful revision of the key areas of physiology and pharmacology through a series of carefully designed real-life case scenarios.
