ABSTRACT

A comprehensive selection of multiple-choice questions for the 'Part 1' of the Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (England) examination and its Scottish equivalent the AFRCS. Questions have been chosen to reflect the structure of the examination and include many that are similar to those that were asked over the last few years. Both the Core Module and the System Module of the examination are covered. Detailed answers are provided. Kefah Mokbel has written a number of books for the surgical examinations as well as for other professional examinations and is also the principal lecturer on the MasterPass MRCS course. This book reflects his considerable experience of the MRCS examination and will be invaluable to candidates preparing for this examination.
