Multiple Choice Questions on Lecture Notes on General Surgery

Apart from their use in formal examinations, assessment techniques, such as multiple choice questions, have an important part to play in the educational process. Informal self-assessment can be made more searching, and therefore more useful, by the use of questions based on the material which has been studied. MCQs are particularly useful in this respect and it is mainly with this purpose in mind that the book, designed as a companion to the sixth edition of "Lecture Notes on General Surgery" by Drs Ellis and Calne, has been written. Students are further guided by the denotation of certain asterisks, which means that the authors consider that an incorrect choice on this occasion indicates a serious or even dangerous lack of knowledge. The new revised edition of this little book is a revision aid for undergraduate students studying for the final MB examinations.
