Master Medicine: Surgery

This new edition is a one-volume core revision text covering orthopaedics, ENT and ophthalmology, designed to stimulate the student into assessing his/her own knowledge during self-directed learning and exam preparation. The book assumes the student has had some teaching in surgery and has acquired some basic core knowledge. The book promotes self-directed learning with motivation coming from self-identification of strengths and weaknesses leading to an assessment of needs.

The structure of the book is as follows:
* division into the main sections: orthopaedics, ENT and ophthalmology
* a core text examining the main surgical diseases in a synoptic text.
* a self-assessment section at the end allowing the student to assess the progress in the application of the facts to common clinical problems.

Features:
* concise synoptic ( not telegraphic text)
* appropriate self-assessment material
* only covers core, so student knows the whole book is essential
* includes key objectives in learning surgery
* contains simple and memorable diagrams for reproduction in exams
* idea for learning as well as examination review, specifically trying to stimulate the student into assessing his/her own knowledge
