Vill du läsa något inspirerande och utvecklande? Här är en samling av böcker som hjälper dig i livet och karriären samt utvalda böcker från (nästan) varje specialitet.
🇬🇧🇺🇸 If you find yourself here from outside of Sweden, I think you too will be able to find a wide range of great medical books since most of them are in English. I’d be happy to take suggestions from you as well in the form at the bottom!
Kurslitteratur uteblir då KI och andra läkarprogram listar det så bra själva och det dessutom finns gratis kursböcker på OpenStax (Anatomy and Physiology och Microbiology) och LibreTexts (mer prekliniskt i Biology-delen och mer kliniskt i Medicine-delen).
Markera titeln på den bok du vill kolla upp, högerklicka och välj ”sök på webben” eller liknande, glöm inte studentrabatten! Både engelsk och svensk titel, nämns om de finns, med originalspråket först.
Du kommer aldrig hinna läsa alla bra böcker där ute, välj de som resonerar starkast med dig först.
Du får gärna skicka in egna förslag till info[at]hus75.se eller via förslagsformuläret längst ner.
