Oh, how we all loved mnemonics during medical school. Remember the carpal bones - 'She Looks Too Pretty, Try To Catch Her'?? Well, for the MRCP basic sciences section, what better way to remember the facts than with a book on mnemonics! Given that you are a seasoned medical student (or a junior doctor, as most of us call it!), get yourself a book with good mnemonics to remember all those bones, tissues, tendons, physiological pathways, biochemical pathways etc. We found one on Amazon that seems to be going strong. A quick preview and it looks good, packed with illustrations and interesting anecdotes. Here is the link for you:
For those of you who have a kindle, or have the software on your computer, you can download the book straight away -
The book combines mnemonics with humour, so it most certainly is a good read. Remember, a lot of questions in the MRCP part 1 exam cover topics from years ago. In addition to the books we have recommended in other posts, this appears to be a good accompaniment. Reviews by other users are great as well.
Enjoy it!
