The aim of this book is to provide a straightforward summary of the knowl edge required for examinations in specialist Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Part Two of the examination for Membership of the Royal College of Ob stetricians and Gynaecologists would be a good example. The volume is intended as a companion to the highly successful Basic Sciences for Ob stetrics and Gynaecology which covers the knowledge required for pre liminary examinations. Increasingly, examinations of all types are based on multiple choice ques tions (MCQ) or structured answer questions (SAQ). No apology is made for the fact that the present book addresses the sort of "fact" which lends itself to testing by this approach. Thus, there is little discussion of specula tive or contentious areas, no account of present or future research, and no references. Numerous excellent books are available which cover these top ics in a much fuller and more discursive manner, and the present volume does not seek to emulate them.weiterlesen
