The two Medical Masterclass CD-ROMs contain a total of 60 interactive case scenarios each. Each case study takes you through the full process of patient examination and history taking, differential diagnosis, ordering of tests, procedures (costs and time scales are included), management and final diagnosis. Each case is submitted for immediate expert comment and notes accompany the correct diagnosis in each case.
Example Process
*The opening screen invites the user to select a case from the list of case descriptions.
*Once the case has been selected, the learning objectives are defined and further instructions are given.
*The user is given a brief history and is able to assemble a more detailed history via menu options.
*A full patient examination can be undertaken.
*Once the history and examination procedures are complete, the user is asked to make initial diagnosis.
*Tests can be ordered. Time scales and costs are given for tests with immediate results.
*Treatment procedures can be ordered on the basis of test results. A summary of progress is given in response to the treatment ordered.
*A summary of the results of all tests and procedures ordered is given together with the cost.
*Based on all the assembled information, the user is asked to make a final diagnosis.
*The case study concludes with a description of the correct diagnosis or diagnoses and the user is marked. The time in which the case study was completed is recorded.
*The format is remarkably close to real life: you must start making management decisions before all of the test results are available. All case scenarios are fully illustrated and include self-assessment questions, and most cases include patient video materials.
Requires Microsoft Windows 2000, XP or Vista. Quick time included inside.

You will find multiple choice questions, best of fives, best of many, and single line questions in neurology. Chapter 3 has photographic materials (CT scans, MRIs, MRVs, Plain X-ray films, patient’s photos, echocardiography, ECG, and EEG). The answers have comprehensive up-to-date explanation. The questions covers most of the MRCPUK/MRCPI examination syllabus (and its most commonly encountered themes), both for part I and II. It is the only free neurology self-assessment book on the web, not just for MRCPUK/MRCPI examinations, but also for any neurological/medical written exam (e.g., Neurology or Internal Medicine Boards, FRCPC, FRACP, USMLE, PLAB, TRAS…etc).
.
Reading neurology comprehensively for the MRCP examination is a valuable method of getting and securing a full mark in that branch; yet, many MRCP candidates are still reluctant to it. Neurology and neurosciences may have some overlap with psychiatry and basics and extending the studying to many subspecialties at once may distract the student and have a counterproductive effect.Many MRCP candidates depend heavily on commercial MRCP BOF books, rely on past examination themes, and avoid textbooks. Although this might be of help in passing the examination (usually on the verge of failure) and making the preparation time shorter, I think this method will not make the candidate practically efficient during every day practice after clearing the examination parts.I would like to stress that the MRCP examinations do not concentrate on rare subjects and topics, like details of hereditary spinocerebellar ataxias, or the treatment options of high grade gliomas, or the clinical features of congenital muscular dystrophy. Instead, they cover important clinical scenarios that are likely to be seen during every day practice CLICK HERE TO GET FREE LINKS TO THIS BOOK One Year of Hard Work — 680 Best of Fives with Neurology Themes / Syllables AND MRCPI Part II General Medical Examination Notes
