A sense of fatigue dogs the fitness world. Many of the new programs that are tagged as groundbreaking are actually recycled ideas. Foundation offers something completely different for novices and athletes alike: a simple program with powerful and proven results that will remedy bad posture, alleviate back pain, and help readers break through fitness challenges and plateaus. Dr. Eric Goodman, a brilliant and dynamic young chiropractor, teams up with Peter Park, one of the top trainers in the United States, to radically redefine the core--shifting the focus from the front of the body to the back. Their groundbreaking approach works to strengthen the lower back and the full posterior chain and correct poor movement patterns by addressing mechanical imbalances and weaknesses. Foundation training involves simple movement patterns and is equipment free, creating maximum power, flexibility, and endurance. Word-of-mouth enthusiasm has inspired both Hollywood luminaries and world-class athletes to make Foundation training the core of their fitness programs. Eric and Peter's client list has grown exponentially to include Lance Armstrong, NBA star Derek Fisher, world-champion surfer Kelly Slater, and actor Matthew McConaughey.

'Situational Judgement Test for the Foundation Years Programme' has been specially designed to help you achieve the highest possible mark in the UKFPO SJT exam. This 2nd edition, in line with the latest GMC Good Medical Practice 2013 Guidelines, contains a wide range of SJT scenarios to ensure that all the core Foundation Programme competencies are comprehensively covered. The SJTs contained in this book have been through a rigorous appraisal process that brought together the experiences of over 50 doctors from varying levels and specialities, including multiple Foundation Training Programme Directors. This ensured that the scenarios, and their respective responses, were valid and relevant to both the SJT exam, and the Foundation Programme curriculum. The book also involved professionals with backgrounds inclusive of medical law, medical ethics, psychology and medical education, all of whom helped in sewing together realistic and challenging scenarios with valuable learning points. The questions in this book were piloted amongst junior doctors to further help validate the consistency of the responses. The explanations provided in this book are supported by numerous references to the GMC guidelines, in order to maximise their reliability, and provide a clear rationale for the correct answers. A number of the doctors who participated in the design of this book had firsthand experience of the National SJT Pilot Exam, and thus provided a unique insight into question format, style and design. This book not only offers valuable exam practice, but also equips the reader with the skills, aptitude and knowledge base to effectively cope with complex scenarios as they move on to their working life.

This book will help final year medical students improve their chances of getting their ideal medical job by practising the new style 'Situational Judgement Tests' (SJTs) required for recruitment. It begins with an explanation of the type of questions that are asked and introduces students to exam techniques required in order to succeed in the test. Following on from this, another chapter is dedicated to the core concepts and guidelines expected of junior doctors, before finishing with several mock examinations with answers for the readers to test themselves. SJTs are currently used elsewhere in medicine for the selection of fully qualified doctors into GP training, however this type of examination and questioning is not one which any medical student will be familiar with or have come across in their training to date. The book gives a comprehensive explanation of answers including key references and topics relating to professionalism, medical ethics, GMC guidelines and foundation programme personal specifications. The contributing authors include current foundation year doctors who can offer authentic realism from their ward experience. The book will serve not only as a revision guide but also as an instructional tool to help potential junior doctors reason through professional dilemmas they may encounter in the 'SJT' selection tests as well as in real life on the wards.
