This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It assists with preparation for the Intercollegiate MRCS examination, covering all three parts in the order in which they are encountered. The topics correspond to those in the Intercollegiate MRCS syllabus, whilst the structure reflects the different types of question scenarios that candidates will face.
Suitable for candidates preparing for the intercollegiate MRCS exam, this title presents the essential facts in each subject area in note form with special attention given to areas that are often poorly understood.
This book is a concise revision guide to the core basic sciences – anatomy, physiology and pathology – which comprise the essential knowledge required by the trainee entering the specialty of surgery. It has been written in a style to facilitate easy learning of the essential facts, with indications of both their clinical relevance and importance. This book concentrates on those topics which tend to be recurring examination themes for initial surgical training. It will be an invaluable resource for the basic surgical trainee studying for the Intercollegiate MRCS examination, as well as proving useful for those in higher surgical training and for the surgically inclined, well-motivated student. The book covers in one volume all the essentials of the basic sciences – anatomy, physiology and pathology - to aid the candidate for the MRCS examination. In covering the applied basic science the books explains the application and clinical relevance of the three sciences The text is written in an appropriate ‘bullet-point’ style to allow easy reading and rapid exam preparation The contents concentrate on the recurring common themes of the examination, thus helping direct appropriate learning and focussing on the specific impoartnta areas of knowledge The book is illustrated with line drawings which are clearly annotated to aid learning. In this Second Edition, chapters have been updated and sections expanded to cover topics which are particularly relevant to examinations. The microbiology chapter has been rewritten, and the section on skin healing has also been extensively rewritten to include a section on burns, skin grafting and the anatomy of flaps. Each chapter has new OSCE scenario questions added to bring together the basic science and its clinical application in OSCE examinations.
Offers an introduction covering the MRCS exam with particular reference to OSCEs; an overview of clinical skills in history taking and physical examination; chapters covering sections of the exam with popular cases in the OSCE format at the end of each chapter; and, a layout with colour images.
