"MRCP(UK) and MRCP(I) Part I Best of Fives: Volume I" by associate professor Dr. Osama Shukir Muhammed Amin MRCP, MD, FRCP(Edin), FRCP(Glasg), FRCP(Ire), FRCP(Lond), FACP, FAHA. Dr. Amin is a senior consultant neurologist and formerly a clinical associate professor at the International Medical University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as well as a former director of the Kurdistan Board of Neurology, Sulaymaniyah. In writing this book, I have tried to focus on the most important updates in medicine that have been emerging during the past decade: novel diseases, novel investigations, and newly approved medications. Needless to say, COVID-19 and its SARS-CoV-2 will be encountered in each chapter, in addition to occupying a unique position in the chapter on infectious diseases. The other aspect that I think is very crucial to tackle is women's health and pregnancy. Once again, such a topic has been addressed in each and every chapter. There are no separate chapters for geriatrics, clinical sciences, and pharmacology (including therapeutics and toxicology); their questions have been distributed throughout the book's chapters. Each answer is followed by an explanation and a reference (source) and/or additional (further) reading. In this way, you can go there; skim the whole subject if you are interested in getting more information. I did my best to avoid regurgitated subjects and themes (which have been encompassed by many books, including mine, during the past 20 years). Although many questions appear to be difficult and may fit part II examinations, I believe these questions (and their explanation) will strengthen your background and help you prepare well for part II. Remember, the goal is to find and fill in the gaps in your knowledge. This is volume I, which assesses the candidates' knowledge in cardiology, pulmonology, renal medicine (as well as acid-base balance, electrolytes, and urology), gastrointestinal medicine and hepatology, and finally neurology (as well as stroke medicine, medical ophthalmology, and psychiatry); there are 732 best of fives in this volume.
