Recommended:
Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, McGraw Hill
There is an online site license for Harrison's. However, it is very useful, albeit not mandatory, for students to have their own copy.
PHYSIOLOGY:
The Physiology lecture transcripts are comprehensive and no textbook is absolutely required. However, Constanzo’s textbook is highly recommended.
Highly Recommended:
Costanzo, L. S. Physiology, W.B.Saunders, 2006 (3rd Edition). This is a short, very didactic text. Coverage of some topics may be somewhat less detailed than that of the transcripts. However, in most cases this text provides adequate information. The 3rd edition also provides online access with searchable text and enables download excerpts to handheld devices.
Alternative Textbook, Review Series, and Monographs for Physiology (Optional)
- Boron, W.F and Boulpaep, E.L. Medical
Physiology, Saunders (2003). An authoritative,
up-to-date text. This text provides a more extensive and in
depth coverage of Physiology than in Costanzo’s text.
If you prefer you may use this text in place of Costanzo’s
text.
- Costanzo, L.S. Physiology. Board
Review Series, Williams and Wilkins, 1995. A condensed
review designed mainly for students reviewing for Part One
the National Boards. Useful multiple-choice questions to test
comprehension of various topics.
- Various monographs provide good coverage
of individual organ systems. They are generally more comprehensive,
and in some cases more comprehensible, than the equivalent
sections of the full texts, including:
- Berne R.M. and Levy, M.N. Cardiovascular
Physiology, 8th Edition. Mosby, 2001.
- Lilly, Pathophysiology of Heart
Disease, 3rd Edition (Note: This
monograph is the recommended text for the Heart module
in the 2nd year Basis of Disease course, and
it is also very useful for the HSF course, particularly
in PBL cases involving heart disease).
- West, J.B. Respiratory Physiology
- the essentials, 6th Edition. Lippincott-Williams
and Wilkins, 1999
- Goodman, M. Endocrinology, 3rded (in hardcover) or 2nd (in paperback).
This is a classicl monograph in endocrinology.
- Berne R.M. and Levy, M.N. Cardiovascular
Physiology, 8th Edition. Mosby, 2001.
