Almost twenty years ago, the faculty members of the Department of Pharmacol- ogy at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine developed a review book of medical pharmacology in response to requests from our second year medical students who were preparing to sit for the Part I examination of the National Board of Medical Examiners. The students expressed a need for an organized approach to cope with the volume of basic science curricular material presented during the first two years. Therefore, this book was not developed as a compre- hensive text, but rather was designed specifically to provide students with a syn- opsis of the basic core of information we deemed essential for their review. This book represents a major revision of our review of medical pharmacology. The book has been updated and expanded, provides current information on ma- jor new drugs and information on older drug groups that typically have been covered on previous licensure examinations. The book includes a number of new questions for self-examination. The faculty have endeavored to retain a reason- ably concise, relevant and readable review book that will provide the students with a thorough review of pharmacology. Students are advised to refer to com- prehensive textbooks, as needed, to fill in any gaps in their knowledge which may be disclosed by the self-examinations.
