| Summary |
The first ground-up Australian text in pathophysiology, this text helps learners to understand complex pathophysiological concepts through its accessible format and strong integration of the science with clinical practice. Bullock's Pathophysiology does not take the approach of a traditional text, instead opting to remove any duplication of content students will have encountered in their First Year. The focus becomes the balance of pathophysiology and clinical adaptation which is often combined with pharmacology. The approach taken is one that maintains the focus on pathophysiology while complementing other textbooks that students have at hand that cover anatomy/physiology and pharmacology. |
