| Detailed description
This manual was designed to bring relevance and critical thinking skills to the allied health chemistry course. Students are encouraged to become diagnosticians and apply their newly-acquired chemistry knowledge to solving real life health and environmental cases.
The book is an ideal complement to any GOB (allied health) chemistry course, but works particularly well with the Raymond GOB text. Raymond s integrated table of contents allows students to delve into organic and biochemical topics much earlier in the course giving them a more holistic view of the field. The case manual also encourages a holistic approach by asking students to synthesize information across topics.
There are 33 cases in the Kelley,Weeks Case Studies manual organized according the objectives and chapter organization of the Raymond book.
