Book Alerts
“The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.” 

Inspired by the words of Abraham Lincoln, various people involved in GradMed will be recommending useful books for inspiring medical students in GradMed’s Book Alert. The first is our patron, Professor Richard Knight. We will also have recommendations from our tutors and past GradMed students who are now at medical school and/or practising medicine.
