von Dev Banerjee, Robert E. J. Ryder, M. Afzal Mir und E. Anne FreemanThe new Progressive Assessment of Clinical Examination Skills(PACES) has replaced the old short case exam and, as a result, theauthors have revised, reworked and extended their highly successfultext so that it continues to address the study needs of candidates. This new revision aid is now presented in two volumes:
* * An Aid to the MRCP PACES Volume 1: Stations 1, 3 and 5
* * An Aid to the MRCP PACES Volume 2: Stations 2 and 4
This Volume covers Station 2 'History Taking' and Station 4'Communication Skills'. In the 'History Taking' section at least 50examples of each type of question and case are included, togetherwith scenarios with simulated patients. The focus of the book isvery much on the examiners' expectations so that candidates have atrue picture of the areas on which they are being tested.
Station 4 'Communication Skills' also covers the ethical issuesin the doctor-patient relationship, such as managing organtransplantation, consenting for hospital post-mortem, etc.
Also included in this Volume is the 'Experiences and Anecdotes'chapter providing real quotes from both candidates and examiners -this helps the candidate to avoid the more common pitfalls of theexam.
