Mastering Emergency Medicine is a concise, revision-focused textbook
that covers everything that candidates need to know in order to pass the
College of Emergency Medicine's (CEM) membership examination (MCEM) to
enter training, and to the pass fellowship examination (FCEM) to
complete the Certificate of Specialist Training.
With over 100 OSCE scenarios designed to stimulate everyday emergency
department clinical encounters, Mastering Emergency Medicine covers
all the key areas of the CEM syllabus, including: clinical examinations
and practical skills, communication skills, teaching and management.
This book takes a practical approach to the subject - core facts are
presented and common scenarios are explored using an OSCE style, as used
in the Part C MCEM and the FCEM examinations - which makes it an
invaluable blueprint for management of cases.
Closely linked to the current CEM syllabus, each chapter comprises three
parts:
- Core topics that supplement revision for Part A and B.
- Clinical scenarios, including data and relevant practical skills
that can be used to prepare for Parts B and C.
- Mock 'Scoring Scenarios' that give specific guidance on how to
perform in OSCEs.
Mastering Emergency Medicine is a highly detailed revision guide for
the OSCE examinations and an essential study guide for all those who are
preparing for the MCEM or FCEM examinations. It will also be useful to
those who are wishing to pursue a career in Acute Medicine.
