Students, residents, and instructors swear by Andreoli and Carpenter's Cecil Essentials of Medicine because it presents
just the right amount of information, just the right way. Edited by the late Thomas E. Andreoli, MD as well as Ivor
Benjamin, MD, Robert C. Griggs, MD, and Edward J. Wing, MD, it focuses on core principles and how they apply to patient
care, covering everything you need to know to succeed on a medical rotation or residency. Masterful editing and a user-
friendly full-color design make absorbing and retaining information as effortless as possible, and Student Consult
online access offers convenient, flexible reference to the complete contents of the book plus additional clinical
photos and radiologic images, videos demonstrating procedures, audio recordings of heart and lung sounds, and more.
