Summary: PaperbackSummary: This is a book of 150 MCQs, each with five parts, based on the current medical literature with full references to recent papers and full explanatory answers. The questions will thus be linked to research papers and reflect the increasing importance of basic science in clinical medicine. Although based on key papers, not all of these will be in the last year and thus the book won't date that quickly. The book also contains useful appendices to assist candidates in their preparation for the exam.
