Tutor's Notes - CV/Pulm/Renal 2011 UNM SOM

This blog is for UNM medical students taking the CV/Pulmonary/Renal block. It is based on notes I took during lectures. Some comments make minor corrections, some are memory tools and mnemonics (red font), some give numerical examples of formulas, some point out high yield concepts, etc. You are welcome to comment on the posts as are the faculty who gave the lectures. If you want to follow the blog by email, enter your email address below. Steve Wood, PhD, block tutor, scwood@salud.unm.edu
