An understanding of basic pathology is one of the key objectives of medical and surgical training, and viva examinations in particular remain a constant source of anxiety for candidates. General Pathology Vivas has been written by a pathologist with many years of experience teaching pathology to trainees, and aims to dispel at least some of the anxiety by allowing the exam candidate or undergraduate trainee to practice the most common questions they are likely to encounter in their viva examinations. The book is packed with useful information presented in A-Z format, to help the reader gain rapid access to related groups of questions, making self-testing in the busy hospital environment easy. General Pathology Vivas is applicable to undergraduate medical candidates and for the viva components of the MRCS, AFRCS(Ed), MRCP, FRCOG examinations. It will also serve as a valuable 'aide memoire' for the junior surgeon or doctor at all levels of experience, especially those undertaking training of junior staff themselves.
