A concise revision guide to the core basic sciences for all surgical trainees preparing for Part A of the Intercollegiate MRCS examination. Covering the essential facts for anatomy, physiology and pathology, with indications of both their clinical relevance and importance. Focusing on the recurring examination themes for initial surgical training, this title is designed for the basic surgical trainee as well as proving useful for those in higher surgical training and for the surgically-inclined, well-motivated student.
