Full title :Clinical endocrinology and diabetes at a glance / Aled Rees, Miles Levy, Andrew Lansdown.

Summary

Recognizing a need to promote and enhance teaching of clinical endocrinology and diabetes, the Society for Endocrinology created a national curriculum that sets out the minimum recommended standards for undergraduate medical education. "Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes at a Glance" corresponds to the curriculum and covers all important areas of diabetes and endocrinology in a clinically relevant and concise manner, with complementary figures to ensure principles are explained clearly. It highlights key practical skills for undergraduates in line with the GMS recommendations that medical graduates should be well prepared for. There is also emphasis on the importance of multidisciplinary teams in the management of endocrine diseases and diabetes. These include sections on structured education programs, psychosocial aspects, and patient self-management and monitoring. -- From publisher's description.
