Summary

Best of Five MCQs for the Endocrinology and Diabetes SCE is a dedicated revision guide designed to assist candidates in preparing for the Endocrinology and Diabetes Specialty Certificate Examination (SCE). It contains 350 best of five questions covering the main themes of the specialty curriculum.

The questions mirror the format that the candidates can expect to find in the exam and cover all of the key topics, including pituitary gland and hypothalamus, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland and bone disease, adrenal glands, reproductive endocrinology, and diabetes and lipid metabolism. Explanatory answers include references to the most up to date NICE and international guidelines as well as other literature to enable further reading and study. This second edition has been fully updated, with 20 extra questions added to the diabetes chapter to reflect the new exam weightings.

Providing a thorough assessment of the reader's endocrinological knowledge, this is the only revision book candidates will need to pass the Endocrinology and Diabetes Speciality Certification Examination first time.
