great book

This book simplifies difficult subject matter for my daughter in nursing school. I have bought at least one for every subject she has taken.

Nice book, shipped fast.

Behavioral Medicine Made Ridiculously Simple (Medmaster Series) . It's simple and easy to read. This is a fun way to learn.

Excellent Text and Board Review Book!

I had the luck to take Dr. Seitz's class in behavior medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine. His text was one of our's with Wedding also for those familiar. Anyways, his book was absolutely excellent. If was great in that it was brief and to the meat of the subject. It contained many lists and acronyms which I just can't seem to avoid in behavior science. This is a great foundation book to review 1st year medical school Behavioral Science. I thought it was very readable and Dr. Seitz has even thrown in a joke here and there to keep you awake. A great book for review, and a must have for all 1st years. I wish the other Made ridiculously simples were this good. Thanks Dr. Seitz
Montana WWAMI is the best
