This is an invaluable guide to sitting and passing the oral element of the MRCS exam.
Subdivided into six clinical sections - applied physiology, critical care, operative surgery, surgical anatomy, clinical pathology and principles of surgery - the book provides comprehensive coverage of the surgical curriculum with a particular emphasis on the basic sciences. Throughout, questions have been designed to reflect topics that have been asked in previous sittings.
From authors who, between them, have sat surgical viva examinations at all four Royal Colleges, and who now teach extensively in this area, this is essential reading for all MRCS candidates.
Key features:
- Comprehensive coverage of the surgical syllabus
- Over 60 line illustrations, radiographs and clinical photographs help clarify key points
- Logical and detailed question and answer format, plus a conversational style that emulates the viva voce examination
- Clinical scenarios to aid revision and self-testing
