Main description:

MRCEM Part C: 125 OSCE Stations, Second Edition continues the tradition of the best-selling first edition by providing the ideal revision guide for candidates preparing for the MRCEM Part C examination.

The book’s organisation mirrors the exam syllabus and each of the OSCE stations is not only mapped to the relevant curriculum code(s) but also features a pie chart that highlights the competencies being tested.

Amazon reviews of the first edition:

Excellent for..revision. Follows the curriculum to the letter allowing succinct revision. Also useful for reference during normal working practice. Fully recommend it to all MCEM C trainees.

I'd definitely suggest buying this book for practice/mock OSCEs with your fellow ED trainees instead of spending £300 for a course in London.

Great book, just done Part C and am awaiting the results...with that said there were no surprises, this book covered it all.
