Medicine reading list

For prospective students

We advise you to read the Medicine page thoroughly. For reading and preparation information the following sections should be particularly useful:

Please read the following information before you arrive in Cambridge:

The Medical Students' Handbook: The first two years (a hard copy will be sent to you the September before you start at King's)
The above handbook contains a copy of the University's Code of Conduct for student doctors. You should read this and the GMC and Medical Schools Council booklet: Medical students: professional values and fitness to practice (November 2009). On the first day of your course, you will be asked to sign a declaration, the Medical Student Register Agreement, stating that you have read these documents and agree to abide by the conditions set out in them.
Your first few weeks in Cambridge will be easier if you are familiar with the Key Science Concepts
If you did not study Biology, we recommend that you do some preliminary reading to ensure that you know some basic cell biology. The faculty has provided an introduction to Cell Biology
Introduction to Anatomy
