Product Description

One of the striking features of the MRCP Part II exam is the frequency with which certain diseases crop up in questions, either in data interpretation questions or in "grey cases". These diseases are often multi-system in nature, with a variety of abnormalities to be found on routine investigation results. As a result, they are excellent subjects on which to set questions.

However, many of these diseases are uncommon in clinical practice, and finding accessible, concise information on them is not always easy. In many instances, lists of associations with other conditions, and results of common investigations, are difficult to find yet crucial to correct interpretation of questions.

This book provides a concise, easily accessible source of information on 100 of the diseases that crop up frequently in the MRCP Part II written exam. The highly structured format allows information to be found easily, and the information included is in a form that is directly relevant to answering such MRCP questions. A few sample questions have been included to illustrate how the features of certain grey cases or data questions point towards specific diagnoses.

This book is for all MRCP candidates (mostly in the UK, but it will be of use to final year clinical medical students elsewhere.)

Customer Reviews

Excellent book for MRCP Part 2
It is perfect for quick revision. I found it very helpful for concentrating on The Diseases you will be asked about in MRCP Part 2.

Don't usually write reviews but....
There are so few reviews for MRCP books on amazon! This book, however, I can highly highly recommend. Ideal for later on in your study, will take you through each disease thoroughly and give you an idea of what questions to expect. Didn't have enough time to do the practice questions at the back, but they looked ok. Found this book excellent for flicking through when suffering revision fatigue. Not the main text to revise from, but just what you need to bolster you up a bit just before the exam.

Extremely useful revision tool
I found this book very useful. Covers a broad range of topics, explanations are thorough without being overwhelming. I would recommend it to anyone attempting part 2.
