"The book underscores the importance of solving case challenges as a learning exercise. It provides a structured, comprehensive revision platform on which to base exam preparation and encourages the reader to consolidate their knowledge by exploring the complexities of various clinical topics. Justifications of the right and wrong answers are carefully researched and explained accurately in a clear and didactic style, that makes each clinical nugget memorable and easy to translate into practice. The author encourages an understanding-based approach to clinical learning which is mirrored in real patient encounters where a practical approach is necessary to disentangle complex clinical scenarios. In addition, the book will be invaluable for the patients treated by its readers."

Reviews of the First Edition:

"I thought this was a fantastic book that challenged me into thinking through two- and three-step questions. Dr Ioannou's style of questioning is similar to what I experienced in my final exams, and it encouraged me to look into the complexities of different topics. I particularly liked the fact that there was feedback provided not only on why an answer was right, but also why the other answers were incorrect."

Lucy Tiffen
UCL Final year medical student

"I found this book extremely instructive and aimed particularly at working out how to answer complex, two or three-step questions. The explanations were concise and easy to understand. I learned a lot from this book and would recommend it to medical students revising for their finals."

Anita Jiang
UCL Final year medical student
