Bridge the gap between pathophysiology and clinical medicine in a succinct outline of core internal medicine topics! Originally created and road-tested by a resident and then updated by a team of resident authors, Huppert’s Notes succinctly organizes the foundational science covered early in medical school and the clinical approaches encountered in clerkships and beyond. This marriage of pathophysiology and clinical medicine provides a framework for how to approach internal medicine concepts mechanistically, rather than through memorization. You’ll find concise descriptions of common medical conditions with diagnostic and management pearls, as well as high-yield diagrams and tables to emphasize key concepts. Covering all internal medicine subspecialties, each Huppert’s Notes chapter is organized in an intuitive and consistent outline format for rapid access: • Anatomy & Physiology • Diagnostics • Approaches & Chief Complaints • Diseases & Pathophysiology • Key Medications & Interventions • Key Clinical Trials & Publications After the app has been downloaded, no internet connection is needed to retrieve the content of the app. All of the text, images and tables are available to you on your device anytime, anywhere, and lightning fast.
