About FreeBooks4Doctors
The website
The primary goal of FreeBooks4Doctors is to provide the reader with a variety of resources to aid in understanding general medical information and also to serve as a starting point for those interested in introductory medical study. The blog section contains various health related articles. In addition, there is a subject directory from which one may start a revision session. Each study guide introduces a small number of connected topics using topic panels, a short learning activity and includes questions with explanations. These study aids have been developed to assist readers in defining the appropriate terms and organizing further study.
Using the study guides
To utilize the study guides, first identify a question that you would like to answer. Then select a study guide that addresses the specific area of interest. Read the topic material before attempting its questions. If a topic introduces a new term, go back and determine the definition of this term prior to continuing. Links connecting related subjects (anatomy, physiology and cardiology) are available throughout the web site. Upon completion of the questions in a study guide, a quiz result will indicate whether you answered correctly or incorrectly. However, please note that a quiz result does NOT verify your competency in medicine nor does it assess your overall health.
Medical information and review
It is essential to remember that general information cannot assess your personal medical history, medications, physical exam findings or local care arrangements. Therefore, general information cannot provide an individualized diagnosis or treatment plan. The Medical Disclaimer located on our home page describes in detail why we cannot make recommendations based upon individual circumstances. As such, when viewing a study guide marked "medical review pending", view that guide with caution. Additionally, if a review credit has been granted for a particular version and page, it only applies to that version and page of the study guide and should not be construed as including all pages on the web site.
