Oxford Textbook of Medicine at UMHS Library

 The Oxford Textbook of Medicine is published online and in hard copy, currently in the 6th edition with 4 volumes. Having been regularly updated for many years, the production of this latest and very substantially updated edition, provides a moment when it is natural and proper to reflect on what has changed in Medicine—and what has not—in recent years. 

"Modern medicine has much to offer patients and their doctors. Advances in biomedical sciences, the broader context of health and disease, patients and their expectations, and access to medical knowledge are some of the key areas examined in detail among the 30 sections of the book. Sections include introductory sections on patients and their treatment, background to medicine, cell biology, and immunological mechanisms, as well as more subject-specific sections such as infectious diseases, neurological disorders, cardiovascular disorders, rheumatology, and the kidney, as well as many more."

The Anne Ross Library Reference collection now has the complete hard copy set of the 6th edition for the use of our faculty and students.
