Kumar and Clark's clinical medicine /

Abstract

Kumar & Clark’s Clinical Medicine is a widely respected, authoritative single-volume textbook covering the full spectrum of clinical medicine for medical students, trainees, and practicing physicians. First published to critical acclaim and winner of a British Medical Association medical book award, the 7th edition provides comprehensive, evidence-based coverage of disease processes, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and treatment across all major medical specialties. It integrates fundamental scientific principles with practical clinical knowledge and is organized system-by-system—examining ethics, communication, infectious and non-infectious diseases, organ-specific disorders, critical care medicine, pharmacology, and more. Clear writing, structured chapters, clinical photographs, tables, and diagrams enhance understanding and accessibility. The text serves both as a core learning resource for undergraduate and postgraduate exam preparation and as a general reference for daily clinical practice, emphasizing up-to-date therapeutic approaches and patient-centred care.
