Clinical Surgery Made Easy: A Companion to Problem-Based Learning (2nd Edition)

Description

Aimed at Undergraduate Medical Students and Junior Doctors, this guide to creating differential diagnoses and rational treatment plans is designed to complement existing core knowledge in the field, especially in a surgical ward environment. De Silva (Surgery, U. of Sri Jayawardenepura Colombo, Sri Lanka) offers a series of diagnostic scenarios designed to challenge the decision-making skills of the student in terms of choosing a relevant clinical pathway. Guidelines from such approaches as NICE, SIGN, BASO and BSG offer distinct therapeutic choices that are reinforced through the use of self-assessment tests and FAQ lists at the end of each chapter.

Each Clinical Topic Includes

• A problem-solving approach.
• System-based essential core knowledge.
• Concise explanations of relevant basic sciences.
• Management pathways (based on the most up-to-date guidelines).
• FAQs.
• Self-assessment (EMQs, SBAs, T/F).
