History Taking for Medical Finals cover

History Taking for Medical Finals provides a succinct review of how to take a history to the standard expected of a final year medical student.

The purpose of the clinical history, specifically during a clinical exam, which is a high pressure and intense situation, is to provide the examiner with an insight into your thought process. This book shows you how to achieve this by showing you how to ask the right questions, demonstrating you are SAFE and competent.

History Taking for Medical Finals uses a standard structure and a set number of questions for each presenting complaint to act as an absolute failsafe. The book uses a repetitive and consistent structure to reinforce the key techniques of history taking. Each scenario covers all the necessary aspects of the history for each presenting complaint and all the red flags are highlighted.

The core material is enhanced with full colour Technique Alert and Hint Alert boxes which provide essential tips to make your history taking even more polished and professional.
