World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Clinical Cases For Surgery Exams
Book SynopsisCurrently, 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.Table of ContentsGeneral; Breast; Endocrine; Head and Neck; Colorectal; Urology; Neurosurgery; Pediatric; Hepatobiliary.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Fundamental Osce Guide In Ophthalmology
Book SynopsisIn our world of information overload, there is an increasing struggle to keep the main thing the main thing. Fundamental OSCE Guide in Ophthalmology is a concise study guide presented in a direct, exam style question and answer format, illustrated with high quality clinically relevant photographs tailored to medical students, nurses, optometrists and residents in their early ophthalmology training.This book provides invaluable guidance to readers in presenting their answers in a logical, succinct and elegant manner.

Exposure to ophthalmology is limited in most undergraduate interactions to a few weeks at best. With a shortage of time, gaining a good understanding of what is important is overwhelming. This book helps to streamline and focus knowledge of readers in understanding the essential conditions in ophthalmology.Various other texts on ophthalmology are often in prose and covers a wide range of topics, including the esoteric conditions. To the untrained eye, it is difficult to discern what should be focused on.

This books not only highlights the important conditions, it is structured to simulate examination conditions and can be used as a self-testing tool.
