When you get into clinical years we've found that the most useful books you can have on you are the two oxford handbooks! (clinical medicine and the specialties handbook). They are small enough to cram into a pocket, detailed enough so you can sound like you know what your talking about and have lots of pretty pictures too! If you go to their website they also hold monthly competitions for handbooks, and have lots of other interesting things for you to check out! Click on the banner to have a look!
