Frequently Asked Questions

About Compendium Medicine

  • As medical students, we felt overwhelmed by the amount of medical knowledge available. An overview was lacking. Fueled by this need for change, we embarked on a journey that has now brought together over 500 students and doctors to create the entire Compendium Medicine book series. Our mission is to help and connect healthcare professionals globally by providing accessible knowledge.

  • We are a group of Dutch students and physicians with the mission to provide a clear and accessible overview of everything you need to know during your time as a (rotating) med student, or newly-graduated intern. In the Netherlands and Belgium, we have done this with ‘Compendium Geneeskunde’ by writing an encyclopedia using our own method. So far, we have reached over 100,000 medical students and healthcare professionals.

  • You can use the pockets during your everyday work or study.

  • De pocket is intentionally designed to be compact, measuring 170 mm x 120 mm. The small dimensions are strategic, allowing the book to easily fit into the pocket of your white coat. This thoughtful design is aimed at providing healthcare professionals with a convenient and portable resource for on-the-go reference.

    While the size may be smaller than traditional textbooks, it serves a specific purpose – to accompany you in the fast-paced environment of hospitals and medical settings. The concise format enables quick access to essential information when you need it most, whether you're on rounds, in a clinic, or simply taking a moment for self-directed study. We understand the importance of practicality in the medical field, and our pocket-sized Compendium Medicine is tailored to meet the unique needs of busy healthcare professionals.

  • The pockets are written for a diverse range of readers, including medical students during their rotations, residents, and specialists who wish to refresh their knowledge.

  • There is no digital version of the books available, and we do not plan to release one. If there ever is a digital version, all readers will have access to it with a discount. We believe it's important that our most loyal readers are never at a disadvantage compared to new readers, so no worries!

  • The pocket's productions are guided by the collective effort of students, doctors, and a team of specialists. You can meet the team on the dedicated page for each pocket!

  • The quality is ensured by a team of medical specialists who supervised and revised the text written by medical students.

  • The supervising team consist of a diverse group of medical doctors, part of whom specialize in various subspecialties. And a part who focus on readability and clinical applicability. This approach ensures the highest medical quality of the pocket while maintaining user-friendliness!

  • The guidelines in the books are written and updated according to European guidelines.
