The new edition of The Best of Five MCQS for the European Specialty
Examination in Gastroenterology and Hepatology is a question book
designed to assist in preparations for the European Specialty
Examination in Gastroenterology and Hepatology (ESEGH). The book has
been fully updated to reflect the new examination introduced in 2018 and
the most recent guidelines.
Containing a foreword by Sir Ian Gilmore, former president of both the
British Society for Gastroenterology and the Royal College of
Physicians, the book adopts the same Best of Five question format used
in the ESEGH and covers the breadth of the curriculum. It has been
designed to exactly match the relative proportion of questions on each
topic area found in the examination.
Each of the 300 questions contained in the book is accompanied by an
answer, a set of three succinct bullet points of key 'take-home'
messages, and a short summary of the relevant background, evidence-base
and up-to-date European guidelines. The book ends with a chapter of 50
questions, which again matches the proportions of topic areas found in
the ESEGH, and is designed to act as a mock-examination for use in the
final stages of preparation.
