OST: Medical Cases for MRCP Paces Pack (Oxford Specialty Training: Revision Texts)

Amazing for OSCE PREP and IM residency! Very detailed and thought provoking. Will indeed recommend!

For anyone attempting the PACES examination for the MRCP, this is a great book to have. Focuses on what you need to know in point form and has great tables to learn from.

I Recommed this book for any one in medical training program ,books arrived in a good condition ,i'm very pleased with it !!!

This book (solely) got me through PACES. I bought about 7 different volumes of PACES revision texts (ACES for PACES, cases for PACES, MRCP revision etc) and looked through them all before selecting this one as the best laid out, containing the most information in the most easy to read and retain way. It's hugely detailed and will take you a long while to work through but the way it is laid out is excellent, and unique amongst the revision books. It covers every probable type of case by each different station individually starting with a "real patient" mock-up description of examination findings just as you would announce after you had examined a patient in the exam. Following that are a series of explanations of what these findings are and important things to watch out for and mention, ways to score gold star points in the eyes of the examiners. Lastly it goes through multiple different possible follow up questions and answers, all of which are hugely educational and not just exam tips.

Excellent core text for the MRCP PACES exam - though my main use was for volume 1. It is packed full of useful information, particularly on the "ideal" presentations of cases. I passed first time thanks to this book, though I also recommend Cases for PACES for refining the essential facts of the main presentations, not to mention an equally motivated study buddy! I didn't use Volume 1 much and found the Ethics section too wordy. Agree on the other reviewer that Ryder may be better for this.

Thorough with good breadth and depth of everything likely to come up in PACES. The few months leading up to my exam I read this book to reinforce my understanding of Clinical Medicine as well as help me prepare for the exam via its cases. Both books are well structured and readable.

I bought these two books in preparation for PACES and to be honest, did not really use them as much as I thought I would. I briefly skimmed over the Volume 2: History and Communication Skills but I think there are other books out there which cover the history stations and comm skills stations much better Volume 1: Core Clinical Skills is useful for looking up the key features of the common conditions, but the book is structured in such a way which makes it difficult to follow, as it doesn't present the cases in order of frequency. It covers every possible scenario/ condition both the common and very rare!

Brilliant books that travelled with me everywhere in the month leading up to my exam. I didn't use any other books or revision software and passed on my first attempt. They are very detailed, but are easy to read and they really do contain everything that you need to know to pass. Highly recommended
