Ger's Essentials of Clinical Anatomy
Publication date: November 2008

This is the third edition of a supplemental clinical textbook. It was developed to be used in today's shortened medical school curriculum; it is written in an easy-to-read narrative style and is profusely illustrated (approximately 700 illustrations) with original artwork, imaging studies and clinical photographs. In modern medical education, there is a growing trend in a swing towards clinical applications and it is recognized that the physical examination of the living patient is the ultimate application of anatomical knowledge. The market for this book is 3rd and 4th year medical students and residents. The presentation highlights the anatomical basis of the physical examination, and invasive procedures; a key glossary of anatomical terms and eponyms; key review questions with answers keyed to the book sections.
