Core Clinical Cases In Medical And Surgical Specialities

Core Clinical Cases guides you to think of the patient as a whole, rather than as a sequence of unconnected symptoms. With its practical approach strongly linked to underlying theory, the series integrates your knowledge with the realities of managing clinical problems, and provides a basis for developing problem-solving skills. The core areas of undergraduate study are covered in a logical sequence of learning activities: each case is followed by a detailed answer, along with a number of OSCE-style questions to help you practise for the exam. Related OSCE counselling style questions and answers also feature at the end of each section. Key concepts and important information are highlighted, and the reader-friendly layout reflects exactly the type of question you will encounter, making the perfect revision aid for all types of case-based examination. The integration of medicine and surgery is a new approach to the teaching of these subjects but is becoming commonplace on may medical courses. Developed to reflect this, the two Medicine and Surgery volumes in the Core Clinical Cases series provide the student with a comprehensive self-assessment guide that covers the key components of this area in a manner that reflects current teaching and examination practice. General Medicine and Surgery covers what is taught in third and fifth years of the medical course. This new volume, The Medical and Surgery Specialities, covers what is taught in the 4th year: Ophthalmology, ENT, Urology/Renal, Neurology and Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics/Rheumatology, Haematology and Oncology.
