While textbooks and their online counterparts lay the foundation for medical understanding and practices, journals provide expert discussion, current events, multiple viewpoints on controversial topics, new procedures and techniques, and the most recent scientific findings in clinical trials and research. Both textbooks and journals are necessary to acquire the most up-to-date and well-rounded medical education. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins offers the best of both worlds, with an extensive selection of both traditional textbooks and medical journals.
