Main description:

This Second Edition of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins' Student Success for Health Professionals Made Incredibly Easy has been revised and updated with a more user-friendly organization and design, but retains the health professions focus, the concise and approachable narrative, the fun features and art, and the self-paced online course of the first edition. It is still the first and only student success text designed specifically for health professions students and programs!
