Advanced Ent McQs: Training to Pass the Frcs (Orl-Hns) Part 1

Providing over 400 high quality MCQs in the style of the Part 1 FRCS (ORL-HNS) together with clear explanations of not only the correct answer but also a structured way of approaching questions, this revision guide enables exam candidates to prepare for the FRCS (ORL-HNS) Section 1 exam with confidence.

The questions and answers reflect the new approach to the exam and its focus on higher order judgement and testing real world clinical decision making. Questions are presented as a common stem with five possible answers, one of which will be the most correct answer: a ’single best answer’. The stem is carefully written, so that every word should help guide candidates to the correct answer. None of the answers will be obviously wrong or dangerous. The candidate must recognise that a ’single best answer’ is not the same as a ’single correct answer’. In many of the questions, all the presented answers could be considered correct, but the candidate must choose the best or most appropriate answer from those available.

Written by an expert author team who have provided valuable insights and expert content to ensure the book’s authority. The content is suitable for exam candidates from the UK and for International ENT trainees preparing to sit the FRCS (ORL-HNS) exam. It is also applicable for candidates preparing for the DOHNS/MRCS ENT exam.
