This integrated, cased-based approach offers a ocmplete perspective on the medical and nutritional implications of various clinical scenarios, with an emphasis on management of disease and prevention. With more than 75 multiple-choice questions and answers and 19 clinical cases, it is ideal for students who want to read and prepare for examinations at their own pace.
