Written and edited by clinicians and educational experts the series provides an array of popular assessment questions and extra features, including bonus online questions, to be truly fit for purpose and assessment success!

Ideal companions to the best-selling Oxford Handbooks these excellent self-assessment guides can also be used entirely independently.

Readers are directed to further revision material via detailed feedback on why the correct answer is best, and references to the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine and resources such as journal articles. Each question is rated out of four possible levels of difficulty, from medical student to junior doctor.
