Pocket FAQ
Is your question not listed here? You can reach out to us by email: contact@compendiummedicine.com.
-
The pocket's production is guided by the collective effort of students, doctors, and a team of over 10 specialists, including dermatologists.
-
The quality is ensured by a team of medical specialists who supervised and revised the text written by medical students.
-
The supervising team consists of a broad group of medical doctors, part of which is specialised in dermatology, and a part of which is in charge of readability and clinical applicability. In that way, we can ensure the best medical quality of the pocket while keeping it user-friendly!
-
This book is written for a diverse range of readers, including medical students during their dermatology rotations, residents, and medical specialists who are not specialized in dermatology but wish to refresh their knowledge.
-
Yes, we have a digital version.
-
Compendium Medicine is not designed specifically for one exam. Instead, the pocket guides focus on the core clinical knowledge that doctors use in everyday practice.
Because many medical licensing exams, such as the UKMLA, PLAB, USMLE-style exams, AMC, and MCCQE, test practical clinical understanding across specialties, students and junior doctors use Compendium Medicine to review key topics and strengthen their clinical reasoning alongside exam-specific resources like question banks.
The pocket format also makes it easy to quickly revisit important concepts during clinical rotations or in the hospital.
