Eureka – an innovative series for students that fully integrates core science, clinical medicine and surgery. With its engaging and authoritative text, featuring insightful clinical cases, graphic narratives, SBAs and a wealth of other learning tools, Eureka has everything students need to succeed in medicine and pass their exams.
Eureka – content that reflects today’s medical degree courses with their emphasis on:
- relevance and application of core science to clinical practice
- skills required to examine and communicate with patients
- integrated care across primary and acute care settings
Eureka – 15 clinical titles, 5 science titles:
- Clinical titles – disease-based, clinical cases, system-specific core science
- Science titles – bedrock biomedical principles, clinical cases
Series features across titles:
- Engaging clinical cases show how skilled clinician would work through a presentation, and put diseases and biomedical principles into patient context
- Innovative graphic narratives bring clinical cases to life, show how to approach difficult scenarios and convey the experience of being a patient
- Starter questions - stimulating answers to intriguing questions make learning fun
- Boxes highlight tips, tricks and key learning points
Cardiovascular Medicine
- First principles chapter clearly explains the key concepts, processes and structures of the cardiovascular system
