"All you need to know about the science that underpins medicine". Written by biomedical scientists and clinicians to disseminate the fundamental scientific principles that underpin clinical medicine, the OHMS provides a clear, easily digestible account of basic cell physiology and biochemistry and an investigation of the traditional pillars of medicine (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pathology and pharmacology) integrated in the context of each of the major systems relevant to the human body. Cross-referenced to the OHCM, it is the ideal introduction to the basic medical sciences for junior medical students, and a perfect revision guide for senior students.

Product description

Review

I have no doubt that OHMS is one of the best books I have ever bought. ― Medical Student, University of Edinburgh

I would certainly recommend this book for clinical students who want to refresh some basic sciences later in their education. This is a reliable reference book which I think will serve me very well into my clinical years and I shall keep by my desk for those moments where I need to find a long-ago learnt and now-forgotten fact! ― Cambridge Medicine Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars Saving me constantly

I'm a medical student who didn't do Biology A-Level or Chemistry, and as such I find the vast majority in my year a lot more apt at understanding how things fit together; there are basic biological things like ATP and so on that are assumed knowledge. This book is really helping me to get to grips with whatever I'm studying, every time I open the book. Every. Single. Time.

It's more detailed of course than A-Level standard, and I fully expect this book to go with me beyond Medical School since it offers such a brilliant overview of practically every major topic. It's a gem.

If Batman held me off the edge of a tall building and made me throw out every text book but one, this would be the one I would keep.

Bought as a gift for a friend starting med school. Apparently she has found it useful. Note that as this is supposed to be a light, easy carry book, the paper used for the pages is quite thin and so you can to some extent see the text on the other side of the page through the paper.

Great book - very highly recommended for all medical students. I'm on the graduate course and it is really useful to have a book that covers the entire syllabus in clearly written prose. I use it to help understand concepts when they are first introduced and again when revising.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool little handbook.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 March 2014

Literally has everything you'll cover during pre-clinical years in a much more condensed form. There is some extra contextual information but it's great to pull out on the bus and do a bit of revision.

2.0 out of 5 stars Folded page sewn into book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 August 2020
Verified Purchase
I was really happy at the quick delivery of this book. However, when I opened it to flick through, I found one page was folded and sewn in, which means that I cannot unfold it to read it without risking ripping the page. In a book which has such condensed information, not being able to read 2 pages (counting both sides of the folded page) is rather annoying!
I'm sure this is an anomaly to the printing and putting together of this book, however, it has left me a little unsatisfied.
