Case Presentations for the MRCS and AFRCS: v. 1

Recent years have witnessed considerable change in the structure of surgical postgraduate professional examinations; the 'entry-level' examination is now the MRCS or AFRCS and the full fellowship (FRCS) is not awarded until much later on in the pursuit of training in a surgical specialty. As part of the MRCS or AFRCS examination, the candidate is expected to discuss specific cases presenting and to explain his or her course of action in the diagnosis and management of these cases. Practice in the evaluation of such case presentations is invaluable, and these three volumes offer the candidate a rich source of expert advice on actual cases. Unusually for books of this nature, each case has been written up by a recognised authority in the specialty concerned. The result is a set of well-presented, topical and representative case studies which will guide the candidate's approach and provide a stimulating means of preparing for the examination.
