Winner of a HIGHLY COMMENDED AWARD in the Anesthesia category of the
2010 BMA Medical Book Competition.
This book comprises structured questions and answers that closely
simulate the structured oral examination (SOE) format of The Royal
College of Anesthetists' final FRCA examination. The style of exam
questions has changed over the years and this book matches the most
recent changes in this updated exam. It consists of ten sets (chapters)
of complete SOE papers. Each SOE set (chapter) includes one long case,
three short cases and four different applied basic science topics
(anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and clinical measurement).
As this book is presented in the format of complete examination papers,
it will enable candidates to assess their knowledge and skills. It will
also assist trainers in setting up mock exams. With thorough revision of
this book, trainees can confidently sit their exams. The authors have
been organising final FRCA viva courses for the past five years, running
four exam preparation courses a year, attended by about 200 trainees
each year. This book includes updated knowledge based on the syllabus
and more recent questions asked in the FRCA examination. It is,
therefore, essential study material for trainees and a great educational
tool for trainers.
This book will also help candidates all over the world to pass highly
competitive postgraduate examinations in anesthesia. It is an invaluable
educational resource for all anesthetists.
