本书可作为高等医学院校的外国留学生、医学长学制学生、医药学院校的特色英文班学生以及医学五年制双语教学辅助教材。
本书改编自美国麦格劳．希尔教育出版公司的近期新版原版教材CHEMISTRY，由13章组成。
改编教材在内容遴选上充分考虑各个层面的教学实际，既吸收原版教材之精华，又融入靠前教材之经典，并有创新发展。做到既语言纯正、图文并茂、原汁原味地保留原版教材的文风，又能从医学教育实际需求出发，强调化学与医学的结合（兼顾军事医学特色）。与靠前传统教材框架结构对比，增加了与军事医学相关的核化学，减少了原版仪器分析和胶体等内容。为体现现代教育思想，根据互联网＋时代，数字教育发展所需，本教材将以立体化、新形态数字教材呈现，包括理论教材、实验教材、习题集、数字化教学资源。
