Recent reforms in medical education have prompted the replacement
of subjective examination methods with Multiple Choice Questions
(MCQs) and Single Best Answer (SBA) questions at all levels. In
fact single best answer questions are fast becoming the sole method
of assessment in undergraduate as well as postgraduate
examinations. This book provides a comprehensive revision aid for
residents/registrars undertaking their Cardiothoracic Surgery Board
examinations around the world, including the FRCS Cardiothoracic
Surgery examination, the American Board of Thoracic Surgery
examination and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Board of
Cardiothoracic Surgery examination. Although these examinations
vary in format in different countries, this book is applicable to
all cardiothoracic surgical trainees. The book comprises over 300
single best answer practice questions with each question carefully
formulated to cover an important topic in cardiothoracic surgery. A
considerable number of these questions have been drawn from past
examinations. This book contains a substantial number of
patient-based questions or clinical vignettes that will enable
prospective candidates to test their ability to integrate key basic
science concepts with relevant clinical problems. In addition,
factual recall questions have been included that probe for basic
recall of facts. Detailed and comprehensive explanations, rather
than just brief answers, have been provided so that candidates do
not have to consult textbooks for clarification as is the case with
many other MCQs books currently available in the market. A list of
relevant references is provided at the end of each answer to enable
candidates to read the most up-to-date journal articles on the
subject.
