Mastering Emergency Medicine

Mastering Emergency Medicine is a concise, revision-focused textbook that covers everything candidates need to know in order to pass the College of Emergency Medicine's (CEM) membership examination (MCEM) to enter training, and the fellowship examination (FCEM) to complete the Certificate of Specialist Training.

With over 100 OSCE scenarios designed to simulate everyday emergency department clinical encounters, Mastering Emergency Medicine covers all the key areas of the CEM syllabus, including clinical examinations and practical skills, communication skills, teaching, and management.

This book takes a practical approach to the subject. Core facts are presented, and common scenarios are explored using an OSCE style, as used in the Part C MCEM and the FCEM examinations, making it an invaluable blueprint for case management.

Closely linked to the current CEM syllabus, each chapter is comprised of three parts:

1. Core topics that supplement revision for Part A and B.
2. Clinical scenarios, including data and relevant practical skills that can be used to prepare for Parts B and C.
3. Mock 'Scoring Scenarios' that provide specific guidance on how to perform in OSCEs.

Mastering Emergency Medicine is a highly detailed revision guide for the OSCE examinations and an essential study guide for all who are preparing for the MCEM or FCEM examinations. It will also be useful for those wishing to pursue a career in Acute Medicine.
