Ear Nose and Throat for Medical Students - A case-based approach (Paperback)

Ear, Nose and Throat for Medical Students: A Case Based Approach is a novel guide aimed at improving your knowledge of common otolaryngology disorders as well as your clinical and diagnostic skills. The content provides a valuable aide for medical students preparing for written finals and OSCE based examinations. The book will also be of interest to GPs wishing to revise their ENT knowledge, and junior doctors starting their first ENT job. The book is helpfully divided into succinct sections, each addressing common pathology pertaining to the ear, nose, throat, head, neck and also paediatric otolaryngology. This book thereby covers a large range of topics you may encounter in exams and clinical practice, and does so in a concise, attractive and accessible manner. Numerous fictional cases have been designed specifically to guide you through the clinical reasoning process from start to finish. Also included is a range of questions to supplement and expand your knowledge of important diseases or presentations. Each case begins with a 'Focusing question' - often regarding diagnosis or aetiology. This is followed by a series of 'Management' questions to test your clinical reasoning, history taking and examination skills. The questions also provide an opportunity to acknowledge the use and importance of investigations and devising treatment plans. Finally, a challenging 'Additional questions' section has been added on to several cases to complete the learning by asking potential viva questions regarding relevant basic science and pathophysiology. The simple-to-read layout and abundance of clinical pictures ensures easy recall of information during outpatient practice and examinations.
