Currently, clinical training for undergraduates is becoming more difficult. To be a good doctor with adequate training, one must be exposed to many different patients with a variety of pathologies and diseases. At present, we are unable to achieve this, mainly due to the increase in the medical student cohort each year and fewer in-patients. In short, the student-to-patient ratio is worsening, thus lessening students' contact with patients and learning experience.
Fortunately, with the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) format, undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and examination have become more efficient. This book will be very useful for students preparing for surgical OSCEs by covering the different clinical scenarios that a certain condition might present, and allowing self-testing of the questions as well as learning from the provided answers.
Contents:
- General Surgical Principles
- Trauma
- Hepatobiliary
- Colorectal
- Vascular
- Head and Neck
- Breast
- Upper GI
- Urology
- Plastic and Reconstructive Endocrine Surgery
- Paediatric Surgery
- Neurosurgery
- Orthopaedics
Readership: Undergraduate and postgraduate medical students; trainees in surgery.
