Product Description

A revision book intended primarily for candidates sitting their MRCP Part 1 examination and which covers all the essential basic sciences. It focuses on the recurring themes which come up in the questions. The book also includes a chapter on clinical pharmacology (which alone accounts for up to 30% of the questions), looking at aspects of drug-induced disease and drug interactions. Finally there is a chapter on statistics and epidemiology which is rarely covered in other texts, but is often included in the exam.

Despite the changes to the teaching of the undergraduate in medicine and the integration of the basic sciences with clinical education, the junior doctor, faced with postgraduate examinations, is always going to be poorly prepared for those increasingly important subjects. This book presents the essential information in the form of lists, tables, diagrams and flow charts.

Not beginner, not intermediate, not advanced, but AWESOME
This book is presented as a potted guide to basic sciences for the part 1 and that's exactly what it is. It provides the basic info so as to work out things from first principle. It is true what my mentor said, U read this book and thats all you need for basic science and pharm and part 1 is yours baby. Not beginner, not intermediate, not advanced, but AWESOME

This book fails to live up to expectations
Along with everyone else who sit the part 1 exam i bought this book. However it fails to provide the obscure facts required for the modern part 1....at least 5 years out of date!
Spend your well earned money on something else you will actually use!

All you never to ace your basic sciences
People say you need to restudy preclinical years studying of basic sciences. But hey, with this book, you don't touch any of them. It's got all the information you ever need for the your basic sciences. No need to study from other books to pass your part 1 whichever exams you take, mrcp, mrcpch,... you name it! I did it, so can you!
