Surgical techniques; General surgery

In order to progress onto any surgical speciality training in the UK surgical trainees must pass the MRCS examination. The exam is split into four parts, two written papers, a clinical examination and a viva voce examination. The viva is a particularly difficult element of the exam since candidates are tested across a broad range of topics in surgery, pathology, critical care and basic science. It is difficult too because candidates are unsure what to expect, or how to prepare for such an exam. This title offers a guide to sitting and passing the viva voce element. Each subject area offers 20-30 questions, which follow a conversational pattern where new questions follow logically from previous answers - in other words exactly as you would expect in the exam itself. Written by recently qualified surgeons who are now actively involved in the teaching and support of new trainees, this book aims to give the candidate the closest thing to being a fly on the wall in a viva voce examination.

Reviews for Questions for the MRCS viva

If you read this book you will be very well prepared for the MRCS vivas. It is one of the best and most comprehensive available and I now recommend it to all our local senior house officers...If I were taking the MRCS examination, I would base my revision around this book -- Postgraduate Medical Journal 20040601 The best book I ever bought! I thank the authors for ensuring I passed, as I had already answered most of the questions I was asked by going through this book. -- Amazon Customer Review 20040510 It is perfect for asking questions to your study group/partners and you then have the answers to your questions at hand. The answers provided are excellent - plenty of detail and well written. I personally found myself regurgitating many of the answers from this book for my viva exam -especially the physiology. I passed. -- Amazon customer review 20040601
