Overview

Oxford Medicine Online is home to Oxford University Press' medical publishing, bringing together authoritative texts such as the Oxford Textbook of Medicine, the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine and works from the Mayo Clinic Scientific Press, available online for the first time, plus a question and answer toolkit to help student prepare for the Board Exams.

The (oxfordmedicine.com/view/10.1093/med/9780199204854.001.1/med-9780199204854) Oxford Textbook of Medicine is the foremost international textbook of medicine. Unrivalled in its coverage of the scientific aspects and clinical practice of internal medicine and its subspecialties, it is a fixture in the offices and wards of physicians around the world. 

The Oxford Handbook of Tropical Medicine is the definitive resource for medical problems in tropical regions, and in low-resource settings. Comprehensive in scope, it is fully up-to-date and includes new chapters on humanitarian crises, poisoning and envenoming, nosocomial infections, and antibiotic resistance.
