by Bilal Iqbal (Author), Gautam Mehta (Author), Deborah Bowman (Author)

Synopsis

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.

Media Reviews
This book is really the best PACES book I have ever read.... I don't think you would need to read anything else. * Amazon review *
It comprehensively runs through common cases and all the material is up to date and well laid out. Compared to the other books out there this has to be the new market leader especially with the station five stuff. * Amazon review *
