Customer Reviews

Good concise review of medical genetics

I dont think this book is supposed to be a full-fledged textbooks. It reads like a very concise textbook, yet is the size of your average High-Yield or BRS book. In fact, this a great reference to brush up or learn, with moderate depth every major part of medical genetics. I really enjoyed reading this. Its quite up to date... I wish this author would write a bigger version!

Medical Genetics

Medical Genetics For the Modern Clinician by Judith Westman is a small concise summary of Genetics. It's 200 pgs are packed with information including plenty of clinical cases. Definitely for someone already with a basic knowledge of Genetics. End of chapter multiple choice questions help to study for the boards. For a introduction to Genetics or detail on certain conditions another Genetics book should be consulted.

Medical Genetics

I have found that this text encompasses a large volume of genetic material and presents the essentials for use by medical professionals and students. Although this is not a text to recommend for genetics courses, it is a valuable resource to gain information of the current trends in genetic medicine, with very useful USMLE-style questions. The one criticism that this book lacks is that a few more pages could be added for summarys of chapter material, and for more comparisons. Overall a great book for medical students who do not want to become geneticists.
