Mastering the Medical Long Case 2e is designed to assist medical students preparing for the clinical component of their examinations and for participating in their clinical rotations. Case discussions in the latter section of the book provide useful guidance to medical students involved in PBL and CBL modules. The Long Case is also a focus of the Physician's exam - candidates at the FRACP are given two cases and must perform well to secure an overall pass. The book aims to enable trainees to develop a necessary structured approach to the Long Case.

The book is to assist medical students and trainee doctors who are preparing to take clinical examinations that include a long case. There has been a recent review of medical school curricula and all medical schools have recognised the "Long Case” as an integral part of the learning and examination process of the medical program. The book explains the scientific and clinical basis of long case assessment and how long case mastery provides the doctor with the confidence and aptitude to practice medicine from clinical assessment to definitive treatment. The book deals with the different subspecialty sections of internal medicine.
