Synopsis

This revised edition of the highly successful exam practice guide for MRCP Part 1 has been completely updated to reflect the new exam regulations, which now place emphasis on best-of-five questions, rather than traditional MCQs.

The MRCP exams of the UK Colleges of Physicians are a pre-requisite qualification for medical practitioners training to become specialist registrars and consultants. The "Get through ...... series has been designed and written under the guidance of Dr Eric Beck, past Chairman of the MRCP Part 2 examining board. This new series is an essential revision tool for all MRCP candidates studying for the new syllabus exams.

Get through MRCP - Part 1, 2nd edition aims to test the widest breadth of the candidate's knowledge with 1000 questions and explanatory answers in preparation for the MRCP Part 1 examination papers one and two. New material includes more emphasis on current management guidelines for chronic illnesses. Advice is given to candidates covering question comprehension, answer strategies and avoiding common pitfalls, such as the merits of guessing an answer. And an additional section explains the structure of the Part 1 and Part 2 examinations and papers.

The author, Una Coales MD FRCSEd, trained in medicine in the USA and moved to the UK to practise. She has written several popular exam texts including PLAB and DRCOG having passed each exam herself.

About this title

Review

"a useful book for practising the discipline of keeping to time and exam technique... It will also help the candidate recognise if they have covered the breadth of the syllabus."
European Academy of Anaesthesiology Newsletter, review of the first edition:

"a comprehensive range of both theoretical and practical questions... good in the early days of revision when confidence building is essential. It is the first book we have seen to address questions on ethics."
Postgraduate Medical Journal, review of the first edition:

Coales has put together a valuable resource for candidates revising for the new MRCP Part 1.
