Opis

Currently, 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 diseses. At present, we are unable to achieve this, mainly due to the increase in the medical student cohort each year and fewer in-patients, Inshort, the student-to-patient ratio is worsening, thus lessenting students' contact with patients and;learning experience. Fortunately, with the objective structures clinical examination (OSCE) format, undergraduate and postgraduate teching and examination have become more efficient. This book will be very useful for studnets preparing for surgical OSCEs by coving the different clinical scenarios that a certain condition might present, adn allowing self-testing of the questions as well as learningn from the provided answers.
