Synopsis

This book is designed for candidates sitting both the MRCS clinical section as well as undergraduate clinical examinations in surgery, with the objectives of explaining how the examinations work, and of smoothing the process of passing. The 133 cases in the book are carefully framed to allow interpretation for both short cases and OSCEs. In each case an example of the opening instruction is given, followed by a discussion of the steps required to complete the examination and to pass.

Features
