This page is for discussion of Russel K. Hobbie's text, Intermediate Physics for Medicine and Biology. The book may be found here, along with a preview. The text is described as a graduate level text, and seems to be geared towards mechanics and electromagnetism in the cell as well as use of optics and electromagnetism for imaging. Topics included are exponential rates, transport in mediums and through membranes, fields in cells, feedback mechanisms, sound, optics, and imaging with radiation and magnetism. The publisher has online copies available for review or exam copies available for order.

Hobbie also has a collection of research papers on teaching physics in pre-med and life science populations available here.
