MRCP(UK) and MRCP(I) Part II 200 Cases

The methods of postgraduate teaching, training, and accreditation have evolved considerably during the past decade. The strike of the COVID-19 crisis was a huge blow to this remarkable progression yet has taught us many endless lessons. I always say, "Even the best-informed trainee cannot answer all the questions." The purpose of this book is to self-assess. 100, 1000, or 10000 questions will never cover the entire curriculum/syllabus. Medicine is a huge ocean, and once you dive in, you have to swim to stay alive. In writing this book, I tried my best to guide you on how you approach part II written examinations, how to skim the data, and how to conclude your answer. The subjects I have chosen apply the rule of "the common is common". I formulated the scenarios and their explanation in a way that, I hope, will inform you of the core feature of decision-making. It's an art. I have tried to focus on some important updates in medicine that have been emerging during the past decade; novel diseases, novel investigations, and newly approved medications. COVID-19 (and its SARS-CoV-2) and women's health will be encountered many times. Remember, the goal is to find and fill in the gaps in your knowledge. Undoubtedly, if you are well-prepared, you will pass the examination very easily. No need to panic when you hear your colleagues' past [bad] experiences. Lack of preparation is the single most common reason for failure. Remember, practice makes perfect. Read, practice, and self-assess; that's it! Good luck with your career and exams!
