About DundeeChest 3.0
Born again, phoenix from the flames of DundeeChest and DundeeChest 2.0 comes DundeeChest 3.0. The idea was to provide the medical students of Dundee University Medical School with some support for their respiratory block. Now the students have DundeeChest 4.0 for all their undergraduate needs, and now DC 3.0 is a repository for all things post-graduate. The old undergraduate material is still hidden in here, if you want it.
