About this title

Synopsis

This new edition is a one-volume core revision text covering orthopaedics, ENT and ophthalmology, designed to stimulate the student into assessing his/her own knowledge during self-directed learning and exam preparation. The book assumes the student has had some teaching in surgery and has acquired some basic core knowledge. The book promotes self-directed learning with motivation coming from self-identification of strengths and weaknesses leading to an assessment of needs.

The structure of the book is as follows:

division into the main sections: orthopaedics, ENT and ophthalmology

a core text examining the main surgical diseases in a synoptic text.

a self-assessment section at the end allowing the student to assess the progress in the application of the facts to common clinical problems.

concise synoptic (not telegraphic text)

appropriate self-assessment material

only covers core, so student knows the whole book is essential

includes key objectives in learning surgery

contains simple and memorable diagrams for reproduction in exams

idea for learning as well as examination review, specifically trying to stimulate the student into assessing his/her own knowledge

the book compliments other available texts such as Essential Surgery, rather than duplicating its material, in particular, its approach and style

provides examination practice

coverage of core gives student security in knowing what to learn

part of co-ordinated series

Fully revised in line with the objectives of the Second Edition of the Master Medicine series.

Chapter overviews added to start of all chapters.

New forms of self-assessment added such as OSCEs.

New series designs applied to cover, format and internal design.

Text fully updated.
