Written with the busy medical student and house officer in mind, Pharmacology Recall minimizes the time spent reading and identifying important material and maximizes the time available for actual learning. As part of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins' Recall Series , Pharmacology Recall uses the concise, two-column question-and-answer format to facilitate quick learning. Common Board questions and mnemonics appear throughout the book to facilitate memorization and illustrations are provided to clarify important concepts. As an additional aid, a Pharmacology Power Review is included. This chapter presents a unique "bird's eye" view of pharmacology and can be used to review large amounts of high-yield information quickly before medical school and USMLE exams.
