Preface

Ukot’s Back to Basics MCQs: Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Parasitology, and Internal Medicine should be a welcome addition to the plethora of books on the various subjects and specialties in medicine. In medicine, questions of the multiple-choice format have been a great resource for medical students to do self-assessments on numerous subjects at the undergraduate level. At the postgraduate level, residents also need to assess themselves in their areas of specialization. Regular self-testing enables the student or doctor to know how much acquired and retained medical information in the subjects can be reproduced, applied, analyzed, or used to create novelty. Testing oneself becomes a critical exercise as one prepares for any of the numerous professional examinations that medical students and postgraduate doctors must contend with.

This book attends to select areas/topics in Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Parasitology, and Internal Medicine that every medical student anywhere ought to be familiar with. This means that the reader should take these well-chosen topics to be the ones that an examiner in a medical school in any part of the world would not pardon a gross ignorance in.

Ukot’s Back to Basics MCQs: Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Parasitology, and Internal Medicine is also designed to enable general doctors who are usually very busy in their day-to-day practices to return to the basics of medical practice without having to purchase and read the books all of us read in our pre-clinical and clinical years. The book therefore has three hundred and ninety-five MCQs of the Single Best Answer (SBA) format, with each question having four Answer options, the Answer, and robust Notes – only a few of the Notes are less than three lines long.
