Book excerpt: Zero to Finals is a resource dedicated to helping students of medicine. It was created from scratch in the belief that, with better tools, you can accelerate your learning, achieve more in less time and feel more motivated along the way. The Zero to Finals books are designed to be studied from cover to cover in preparation for your exams. I have removed the waffle and focused on the key information you need for your exams. I have added helpful "Tom Tips" I have picked up during a decade of sitting medical exams, that will help you score those extra marks. The focus is on learning the concepts, vocabulary and latest guidelines so you can take the fastest route to exam success and proficiency as a new doctor.The Zero to Finals books are supplemented by the resources on the website (zerotofinals.com). There is a webpage on each topic with illustrations, diagrams, podcasts and videos that tackle the problem from every angle. You can also find carefully crafted practice questions, with feedback to help you develop your exam technique.
