Disclaimer
It is essential for you to STUDY LECTURE NOTES AND PRACTICAL MATERIALS FIRST.
Use textbooks when you wish to gain a deeper understanding or to clarify concepts.
If in doubt, consult your lecturers for the final say.
Introduction:
You are strongly recommended to borrow the book (and its alternatives e.g.
EBook) from the library to read at least a few pages before buying it.
You can find most of the books listed here in the medical library as well as
the main library. Some are found also in the dental library.
Different students have different preferences, and the recommended books
here are just the ones which are commonly used by most of them. There
are lots of other books on similar topics in the medical library.
There are reviews on the books in the Internet bookstores.
e.g. http://www.amazon.com
You may always download this recommended booklist from the official
website of Medical Society, HKUSU ( http://www.medsoc.org.hk).
http://lib.hku.hk/medlib/quicklink/index.html has a lot of useful links. The
‘Textbooks’ Section of ‘Harrison’s Online’ has a lot of useful information…
try it out yourself!
