OST: Clinical Medicine for the MRCP PACES: Volume 2: History-Taking, Communication and Ethics (Oxford Specialty Training)

Clinical Skills, MRCP 1 Response »
Nov 062011

Volume 2 of a two volume MRCP text, this book includes cases which mimic the style and approach of the MRCP PACES exam. Clinical Medicine for MRCP PACES will equip the candidate attempting the MRCP examination with the skills and knowledge necessary for success, and will also provide an overview of evidence-based medicine for competency-based training. Throughout this and Volume 1, the authors explore all aspects of the candidate’s performance, from clinical examination, to presentation, communication and medical ethics and up-to-date clinical evidence.

Volume 2 includes 75 cases and covers Stations 2 and 4: Station 2 covers history taking skills; Station 4 covers communication skills and ethics. This book follows a structured approach to history taking and communication issues, which not only facilitates learning and understanding, but is also required for other workplace based assessments. This book will continue with the theme of Volume 1, in providing candidates with an accurate, authoritative, evidence-based companion for both the MRCP examination, and postgraduate training in the MMC era.

Advance praise for Clinical Medicine for MRCP PACES:

“The authors have produced two volumes packed with the information needed to pass PACES and to practise high quality medicine. While written specifically for those aspiring to be physicians these volumes deserve to be widely read by all with an interest in clinical medicine. Candidates in particular and patients have good reason to welcome these volumes.”

One Year of Hard Work — 680 Best of Fives with Neurology Themes / Syllables AND MRCPI Part II General Medical Examination Notes

MRCP, Neurology/Neurosurgery 4 Responses »
Aug 042009

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

Best of Fives for MRCP UK and Ireland part I Examinations with ECG

Internal Medicine, MRCP 5 Responses »
Aug 042009

Studying medicine thoroughly is not an easy job, especially if time is running and you are thinking about the pass/fail mark of the examination instead. Many candidates depend heavily on BOFs and MCQs books, as these are easy to read and review; yet, the information they give is usually compacted and bypasses many detailed and important aspects. The two main questions asked by almost all candidates are:
–>What books to read?
–>And how much time do I need to be ready for the examination?
The MRCP UK part I does not differ from that of Ireland, except that the Irish paper I has 50 questions in a true/false question format; paper II is similar in both and covers medicine in short best of five scenarios. The Irish BOF paper may, at times, include scanned pictures, hematology slides, photos …etc, ranging from 7-10 in number; this is not true in the UK counterpart. Many candidates find the Irish part more difficult as they should solve two papers within a 3-hour time window. The examination syllabus and “themes” are the same. The pass mark for the Irish part is between 70-72% (according to examination diet), while that of UK is between 58-62%! The results are published (online) after 28 days in both. The Irish part is more expensive (in all parts) and has a limited number of overseas centers (the bulk of the candidates and centers are in Ireland, but it is expanding gradually outside Ireland). The 3rd edition of this book covers the most important themes to read and has many questions from past examinations; many questions were updated, added, and re-edited. The book is divided in 2 volumes (720 MCQ’S).
ECG questions are integral part of the MRCP/MRCPI examinations. Familiarity with certain ECG scenarios and clinical problems is the key to be successful in these examinations

My First Mrcp Book

MRCP 1 Response »
Nov 232008


This volume aims to make learning medicine as easy as possible. It includes charts and tables, pictures and puzzles, limericks and poems, and even word searches – all complemented by a clear text. This book is a structured course in not just what to learn, but how to learn it. Assuming only basic medical knowledge, it allows you to ‘start at the beginning and go to the end’ and, in the process, develop a core knowledge and, more importantly, a technique to apply
