No wonder this is a bestseller for medical students! It's absolutely packed-full of the essential information (hence the title) you need for clinical examinations and OSCE prep. There is no extraneous detail, just the core information, and all presented in easy-to-read double page spreads. Every medical student should have a copy!

Several things make this the perfect book for practising examinations. Its use of diagrams is excellent; the contents page is really useful for finding what you need quickly; the size means you can easily fit it in a folder or small bag; there’s space for personal notes; it lies flat when open, so you can see at a glance each exam and clinical findings on one double-page spread…. I could go on. In short, I would thoroughly recommend this to any medical student looking to improve on their examination techniques ready for OSCEs and life beyond med school.

An excellent resource. Concise yet incredibly informative. I recommend to my students undertaking level 7 (masters level) clinical assessment and diagnostic reasoning modules.

Great !
