MCQs in Urology is an ideal, up-to-date and authentic resource for preparing for postgraduate exams in Fellowships of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons of UK FRCS(Urol), Fellowship of European Board of Urology (FEBU), Master of Surgery (MCh), American Board, and professional exams in countries across the globe. The book has the following qualities:
- Authentic and current: Most of the MCQ's have been framed from recently published standard urology textbooks, guidelines of major urological organisations and authentic literature including systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
- Thorough: Through 25 chapters and 650 MCQ's, the book covers all avenues of the vast speciality of Urology. The number of MCQ's in each chapter is varied according to the importance of the subject. Each chapter is divided into two parts i.e. questions and answers.
- High-standard MCQ's: Each chapter contains MCQ's to evaluate the knowledge, cognitive acumen and clinical skills of the residents. Numerous questions based on real-life scenarios feature frequently in each chapter. The questions feature themes commonly tested in postgraduate examinations.
- Comprehensive explanations: The residents will appreciate the detailed explanation of each question in the book, providing utmost clarity regarding why the chosen option is correct. Unlike MCQs in Urology, detailed explanations are often missing from most MCQ books, leaving students with some queries about the asked question and subject.
- Relevant figures and tables: To enhance learning and retention, figures and tables are duly included where necessary for added clarity of the subject. These are presented separately in an appendix at the end of the book.
- References and further study: Authentic sources of all detailed explanatory answers, whether from high-standard textbooks, published literature or clinical guidelines, are given in italics. At the end of each chapter, suggestions for further study on the subject are listed. Excerpt from an editorial review by the world-renowned Urologist Dr Noor NP Buccholz MBBS, MD, FSSU, FKNMG, Founder & chairman of U-merge (Urology for emerging countries) and ESD (Experts in Stone Disease); former Director of Stone Services & Endourology at The Royal London Hospital, UK. "I have to congratulate the authors of "MCQ's in Urology" for the enormous effort they have put into compiling a mountain of knowledge into a comprehensive, easy to use and well-thought-through learning resource.
All aspects of urology have been tackled in a comprehensive way, yet easy to understand. In particular, the explanations to each question are extensive whilst to-the-point. So much so, that this book could be used as a practical handbook for students and urologists alike.......
It is my honour to recommend this book to the apt reader." Chapters
