Data Interpretation Questions and Case Histories

The Complete MRCP is a series of 3 books that cover the whole of the written section of the Part 1 and Part 2 exams for the College of Physicians qualifications. All three books were originally written by registrars and senior registrars, all of whom wereclosely involved in Membership-level teaching. As a result they are the books most highly regarded by those preparing for the exams and they are essential for all those taking the qualification. The MRCP itself is a very difficult professional qualification. It is jointly organised by the three UK Royal Colleges of Physicians - Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. The format of the exam is constantly changing to reflect the patterns of medicine and roughly 4000 candidates apply to take the MRCP every year. The written part of the Part 2 exam comprises data interpretation questions based on laboratory results on ECG readings), grey cases, and colour photograph questions. This book covers the first two of these. It is a book of 150 cases which cover interpretationof laboratory or other results (such as ECGs) presented in the form of case histories. Increasingly the photographic part of the exam is being used in the case histories, so for this new edition some cases with colour photographs are included.
