My First MRCP Book

This second edition has been adjusted to reflect the new written examination, which is now a 'best of five' format. While that may initially seem easier than the old format, the reality is that it can still be confusing when all five choices seem to be plausible answers. Knowing some basic facts will help students to tackle this situation with ease. To reflect the changes, three new authors have joined the ranks. Having recently (and eventually!) succeeded in passing the new format of the examination, the newbies have added questions on topics such as atrial fibrillation, tuberculosis, HIV and diabetes that, in their recent experience, reflect the changing emphasis of the examination. In addition, they have included a few images and ECGs, which will test your problem-solving abilities in addition to knowledge of the facts. Most importantly, we hope that this book will give pleasure, as much to the student as to the more qualified reader, and, whoever you are, we hope that you will enjoy your lessons. But remember - don't leave your room smiling. Maintain the myth of the tortured youth.

BMJ of the 1st edition: Fortunately this book is not just another revision guide. I have never read a textbook with such intelligent potential. The intention is that you learn in many ways and appreciate the information rather than just memorise it. The book uses several tools: historical vignettes, mnemonics, pictures, poems, puzzles, tables and equations. They all reinforce the facts and - dare I say it - make all this arduous learning enjoyable. And that it is humorous and well written makes it all the more useful.
