下面是培臻教育小编为大家整理的一篇关于医学专业书藉推荐的文章，供大家参考，下面是详细内容。
Reading is an essential part of preparing for
medical school interviews.You will read the news to keep up to date with
current medical affairs, you will read your personal statement to ensure you
know every detail like the back of your hand, and you will read through any
extra scientific reading you want to discuss in the interview.But, isreading fiction and non-fiction medical book worthwhile?
The short answer is yes. There are several books I
would say every medical-student-to-be must read. Not only will they give you
ideas for things to discuss as‘extra-reading’in the interview, but they will also give youa far greater insight into the medical professional (and its flaws). They willbroaden your view of medicine and hopefully provoke thought about how you willtry to be the best doctor possible.
Do No Harm–Henry Marsh
This book is perfect for any wannabe surgeons outthere (neuro or otherwise). It gives a great detailed description of being amedical professional and particularly the pitfalls surgeons and doctors face.It provides a realistic view of training as a surgeon, treating patients in theNHS and of the emotional impact of being a doctor.
When
Breath Becomes Air–Paul Kalanithi & Being Mortal–Atual Gawande
I group these two books together as they are often
mentioned in the same sentence. They are frequently described as‘life-changing’and areoften said to change your viewpoint on treating patients. They deal with death,dying and patient’s
journeys at the end of life. These are beautiful written and incredibly moving.
To anybody who cries easy–be warned.
Bad Science–BenGoldacre
This book discusses the flawed nature of the
scientific community. It’s a good place to start to learn how to analyse data given and teaches you
to be more sceptical about the research you read! This would give you plenty to
talk about in the science focused parts of the interview. Bed Goldacre’s Bad Pharma is also worth a read, but Bad Scienceis a better starting point.
Medical
Ethics: A Very Short Introduction–Tony Hope
This book is an incredible intro to anyone lackingin medical ethics knowledge, or for those who want a quick recap summary. It isdefinitely worth reading in the build-up to your interview to help prepared forany ethics questions that arise. It covers all the essentials and all thecommon topics at medical school interviews ask about.
House
of God–Samuel Shem
This book is less serious than those above, but noless essential. This satirical view of medicine is still relevant nearly 40years later. Some things in medicine never change and this book highlights themall perfectly in an over the top manner. Maybe not one to mention in yourinterview directly, but is incredibly thought provoking about the flaws inmodern medicine.
The above books are just a start and is by no means
an exhaustive list of the best medical books to read. These are just the five I
would recommend (and have recommended) to anyone interested in medicine. If you
can’t findtime to read them all then pick the ones that appeal to you the most.
