The Essentials book has been written primarily for medical students, with constant attention to the thought, “Is this something a student should know when he or she finishes medical school?”
It is not designed to be a comprehensive text, but rather an outline that can be read in the limited time available in a burgeoning curriculum. It is designed to be read from beginning to end.
