Product Description

This volume aims to make learning medicine as easy as possible. It includes charts and tables, pictures and puzzles, limericks and poems, and even word searches - all complemented by a clear text. This book is a structured course in not just what to learn, but how to learn it. Assuming only basic medical knowledge, it allows you to 'start at the beginning and go to the end' and, in the process, develop a core knowledge and, more importantly, a technique to apply.

Review
"Fortunately this book is not just another revision guide. I have never read a textbook with such intelligent potential. It is a complete and structured course, designed to provide you not only with a wide variety of information but also with the relevant strategies for its application. The book uses several tools... they all reinforce the facts and--dare I say it--make all this arduous learning enjoyable. As someone who is still studying, I have no hesitation in recommending this book." Paul Grant (SHO), William Harvey Hospital

Customer Reviews

Totally original and fun
There are, of course, 1001 MRCP Books out there. All, however, are 'Made of ticky-tacky and all look just the same"!
Not this one. This book is quite unique. All four authors have the MRCP, and seem to realise just what a tedious and joyless experience revision for it can be- especially when work is being done 'out of hours'. This book overcomes these problems. The sections are short, meaning that one can work for 5 minutes or 5 hours. Secondly, the chapters are broken down to relieve bordom, with quizzes and so forth lightening the load.
And what of the quizzes? Inspired! Here one learns by limerick, word search, conundrum...
The book is also rare in that it tries to be 'a complete course in not just what to know, but hgow to know it.'

This book will be a big seller. It will appeal to all doing MRCP. It ought, also, to appeal to students of medicine, and also to those (like me!) rusty after many years, but still asked to teach!

Making Medicine Fun
Taking the MRCP exam is something many doctors will have to do. This book has all the right info you need to pass, however, it uniquely packages it so that learning is FUN and not the mind-numbing experience associated with most MRCP texts. In short, I would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone going through this sometimes harrowing process, whether they be just starting out or about to take their PACES.
