Jonathan D. Kibble, PhD, has taught at the University of Sheffield Medical School and at St. George's University (Grenada). Most recently he taught physiology at The Memorial University of Newfoundland, where, in addition to serving as the physiology course director, he did research in renal physiology and active learning methods. He is currently helping to develop the medical curriculum at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine.

Colsey R. Halsey, MD, is a Resident in Internal Medicine at Washington University Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis, MO.


I really like this book, because it provides exactly what it says: the big picture for physiology. I find it very student friendly and it got me through physiology in medical school just fine. If you want to go in depth, this is probably not enough for you. The chapters have great clinical correlates for every main concept. It also has great graphics and empty space for your notes. Would highly recommend it! Good refresher for Step 1.

I highly recommend this physiology review book! It is well written, easy to follow, and has high quality images and illustration. I used it to augment my physiology textbook in my 1st year of med school, and as a review source in my 2nd year for nearly every module. The chapters are condensed with high yield information and short clinical vignettes. I have several physio review books; I like this one the best.
