100 Diseases for the MRCP Part 2 (MRCP Study Guides)

One of the striking features of the MRCP Part II exam is the frequency with which certain diseases crop up in questions, either in data interpretation questions or in "grey cases". These diseases are often multi-system in nature, with a variety of abnormalities to be found on routine investigation results. As a result, they are excellent subjects on which to set questions.

However, many of these diseases are uncommon in clinical practice, and finding accessible, concise information on them is not always easy. In many instances, lists of associations with other conditions, and results of common investigations, are difficult to find yet crucial to correct interpretation of questions.

This book provides a concise, easily accessible source of information on 100 of the diseases that crop up frequently in the MRCP Part II written exam. The highly structured format allows information to be found easily, and the information included is in a form that is directly relevant to answering such MRCP questions. A few sample questions have been included to illustrate how the features of certain grey cases or data questions point towards specific diagnoses.

This book is for all MRCP candidates (mostly in the UK, but it will be of use to final year clinical medical students elsewhere.)
