Pre-publication reviews:

"The book closely ties in with the MRCS STEP distance learning course...In principle I would adopt this as a text to assist my revision for the MRCS examination."

Dr Andrew Jones, SHO Accident and Emergency, St James University Hospital

"...this book covers the ground [for the MRCS] in an appropriate and well ordered manner."

Neil Borley, Clinical Tutor in Surgery, Oxford

Paul Chatrath and Omar Rahim are the authors of The MRCS Examination: MCQs and EMQs, published by Wiley. This brand new MCQ publication is to be used in preparation for the MRCS examination. It reflects the current requirements of the examination, particularly addressing the fact that a large proportion of the questions relate to basic science topics; as well as addressing the new style question that the examination incorporates, the extended matching question (the EMQ) which tend to be very clinically based. Thus, the questions in this book are all based on clinically related subjects and on pure and applied basic science in proportions which reflect the content of the examination.
