Alert and Oriented in Pharmacology

"Alert & Oriented in Pharmacology" was developed as a concise and easy way to learn pharmacology.

This book categorizes and groups the therapeutic agents in a logical manner, and it is an easy, quick reference of all the drugs students need to know to master medical pharmacology for boards or on the wards.

Each medically important agent is presented in an easy to scan table with all of the important facts.

Each table is no more than one or two pages for high-yield, quick review of the material.

Features to complement the high-yield format of this book include: brand names of the drugs are provided - an important source for the wards; free, downloadable, flashcards offered on the medstudent site; introductory pages and summary charts; glossary and index for easy navigation of topics; mnemonics to aid in memorization and comprehension; wide margins and blank pages for note taking; and, art program consisting of figures and algorithms to help understand difficult concepts.'This format is perfect for my students.

All of the information is easily accessible and quick to get through.

Just what they've been asking for' - Professor Eric Bussear, NOVA Southeastern PA Program. 'The book is well-written; the key concepts are highlighted nicely at the beginning of each drug class.

I like the fact that the proprietary drug names are listed along with chemical names.

The drugs are logically presented and thus, making it easier to learn' - MS3, UCLA. 'I like the simplicity of this book and found it to be very straightforward.

I think it would function as a terrific review book for the boards' - MS3, UMDNJ.'"The Pharm Companion" is an excellent aid for learning all the pharm you need to know for boards and practice.

This book takes everything you need to know and puts it all into simple charts.

I've gone through most of the book with my notes and I find that the Companion usually reduces a 10 page packet into a one page chart.

If you like charts at all, buy this book. It also has handy perforated flash cards in the back' - Customer Review from Amazon.com.
