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

Physiology

• First principles chapter clearly explains key concepts and mechanisms relevant to the study of medicine e.g. cell signalling mechanisms and homeostasis
