Publisher's Synopsis
This text reviews key concepts necessary for Canadian medical students and international medical graduates preparing to write the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Exam (MCCQE) Part 1. The authors have used the MCCQE Examination Objectives as guidelines for developing the text. The book is divided into sections based on medical specialty with vocabulary appropriate for physicians-in-training. Each chapter focuses on common clinical presentations found on the MCCQE Part 1. Clinical decision-making trees are provided for complex clinical presentations. Systems-based differential diagnosis charts are used for clinical presentations of multi-system etiologies. Boxes emphasize high-yield points, red flags, and clinical pearls. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and 100 multiple-choice questions.
