Applied Basic Science for Basic Surgical Training (MRCS Study Guides)

A textbook of applied basic science for the MRCS. It covers all the relevant sciences - anatomy, physiology and pathology - but in the format of the MRCS syllabus. It is divided into the same structure of core modules and system modules and revises the sciences accordingly. It concentrates throughout on the application of these sciences and (in the system chapters) includes text on the clinical features of the surgery as relevant to the science.

Concentrates on what is likely to be regarded as the candidates weakness and presents that information in the format of the new exam.

Designed for a new examination with a lot of candidates and no competition.

Brings together three basic sciences in one book and presents them integrated together and in a relevant format for the exam.

Allows you to buy one book instead of three.

Presents the sciences at the right level for the MRCS candidate.

Covers the syllabus of all three UK surgical colleges and the Irish College.

Real value for money.

"Perfect for quick refreshing or cover to cover swotting....A true gem" David Miller, 3rd year Medical Student, Glasgow University

''Applied Basic Science is an excellent textbook. The book is concise and clearly written, but at the same time gives a good depth of information. It is divided into two parts: General Pathology and Microbiology and Specific Systems. Noted experts in their fields contribute chapters within these parts. The use of diagrams and tables helps to highlight the most relevant points. Specific boxes on issues in immunodeficiency and evidence based medicine are particularly useful.'' Philip Xiu
