Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

Organized to mirror the behavioral science and psychiatry courses typically taught in the first two years of medical school, this text addresses the major concepts of the field and is designed to prepare students for Steps 1 & 2 of the USMLE board exams. The depth of coverage of psychiatric illness, substance abuse, and pediatric psychiatry also make this text appropriate for use in clinical psychiatry courses in the third and fourth year.
