The forerunner to this book - Ryder, Mir & Freeman's 'An Aid tothe MRCP Short Cases' - rapidly established itself as a classic andhas sold over 30,000 copies.
The new Progressive Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills(PACES) has replaced the old short case exam and, as a result, theauthors have revised, reworked and extended their highly successfultext so that it continues to address the study needs of candidates.This new revision aid is now presented in two volumes:
* * An Aid to the MRCP PACES Volume 1: Stations 1, 3 and 5
* * An Aid to the MRCP PACES Volume 2: Stations 2 and 4
This Volume covers Station 1 'Respiratory and AbdominalSystems', Station 3 'Cardiovascular and Neurological Systems' andStation 5 'Skin, Locomoter, Eyes and the Endocrine System'. The 200cases have been written in accordance with the new examining andmarking schemes used for the exam. They provide an invaluabletraining and revision aid for all candidates.
