SBAs and EMQs in Paediatrics for Medical Students

Book excerpt: 'Dr Sharma has definitely mastered the art of producing a comprehensive, evidence-based review tool of core paediatric knowledge whilst at the same time appealing to a broad audience, which in my opinion is quite a remarkable achievement. You're definitely looking at an invaluable resource and buying this book will help you to rise up to the challenge that is the complexity of paediatrics.' - Tiago Villanueva in his Foreword. Undergraduate medical students often struggle with at least some of the specialty elements of their studies. Some face a further challenge with the advent of the Medical Schools Council Assessment Alliance (MSC-AA, formerly known as UMAP), with a move away from testing specific clinical facts to an assessment focused on preparing to be a foundation doctor and the knowledge such a trainee needs on a daily basis. Neel Sharma has written three self-assessment books - on psychiatry, obstetrics and gynaecology, and paediatrics - designed to help students tackle both the new form of assessment as well as the traditional style of examination. Questions covering all common presentations are included in SBA and EMQ formats with relevant, concise explanations as answers.
