Product Description

The extended-matching question (EMQ) is now a widely adopted format for the assessment of medical students. Each question addresses a theme that may be a symptom, sign, investigation, diagnosis or a management decision, and the stems are clinical vignettes relevant to clerkship and application of knowledge to clinical practice. With each question there is an option list from which the reader chooses the most likely or the correct answer.

The Second Edition of this book has been expanded to include a total of 200 EMQs, giving readers a foretaste of what they will encounter in their examinations. The questions cover a wide range of clinical themes across all the major branches of the medical curriculum.

Customer Reviews

EMQs for finals
Ths goes through most of the subject you need to revise finals with. There are good explanations to answers, and the answers and questions seem to be up-to-date, unlike some other books on the market. Good for revision for all clinical years, especially years 4 and 5.

not the best
A good deal of the material appears to be somewhat beyond undergraduate finals level. A handful of the answers have the wrong letter designation (although the correct answer is actually given). On the upside, all answers are well-explained but overall a needlessly disheartening and occasionally frustrating book to have around during revision. Far better alternatives exist.
