Multiple Choice Questions on Basic Medical Sciences could help students to learn and get acquainted with the questions that are generally asked in multiple choice questions (MCQ) examinations in basic medical sciences subjects – anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology. The medical curriculum has moved away from the traditional system to integrated-holistic system over the years. Many medical schools have adopted integration in preclinical and clinical years and students will be evaluated across their subjects as clinical and basic sciences knowledge amalgamates the holistic human body. Integration will allow the student to understand the intricate body systems comprehensively and homeostasis and pathological derangements in the human body. MCQ-form of examinations is the complex type of evaluations where students find them as most tedious forms of evaluation. Unless a student has in-depth knowledge in the content of the subject, seldom they answer the MCQ correctly. Students need to get good exposure and practice while preparing for MCQ examinations. There are very few reference books available on MCQ, students being in the transition period in preclinical years from fresh high school graduation, basic sciences years of medical education need extra efforts to learn and understand. A form of guide or reference to learn the MCQ evaluation is a dire need for the students. This short book on MCQ will definitely help medical, nursing and allied health sciences students as basic sciences are the foundation for future clinical years. Student’s curiosity to learn medical subjects through multiple choice questions shall enhance their deep learning and reasoning as clinical conditions needs a reference on normal body structure and functions. This book may provide a foundation in the initial years and a guide to build their basic sciences knowledge to higher level.

GEOFF NORMAN McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada CEES VAN DER VLEUTEN University of Maastricht, Netherlands DA VID NEWBLE University of Sheffield, England The International Handbook of Research in Medical Education is a review of current research findings and contemporary issues in health sciences education. The orientation is toward research evidence as a basis for informing policy and practice in education. Although most of the research findings have accrued from the study of medical education, the handbook will be useful to teachers and researchers in all health professions and others concerned with professional education. The handbook comprises 33 chapters organized into six sections: Research Traditions, Learning, The Educational Continuum, Instructional Strategies, Assessment, and Implementing the Curriculum. The research orientation of the handbook will make the book an invaluable resource to researchers and scholars, and should help practitioners to identify research to place their educational decisions on a sound empirical footing. THE FIELD OF RESEARCH IN MEDICAL EDUCAnON The discipline of medical education began in North America more than thirty years ago with the founding of the first office in medical education at Buffalo, New York, by George Miller in the early 1960s. Soon after, large offices were established in medical schools in Chicago (University of Illinois), Los Angeles (University of Southern California) and Lansing (Michigan State University). All these first generation offices mounted master's level programs in medical education, and many of their graduates went on to found offices at other schools.

Medical education has undergone a substantial transformation from the traditional models of the basic classroom, laboratory, and bedside that existed up to the late 20th century. The focus of this text is to review the spectrum of topics that are essential to the training of 21st-century healthcare providers. Modern medical education goes beyond learning physiology, pathophysiology, anatomy, pharmacology, and how they apply to patient care. Contemporary medical education models incorporate multiple dimensions, including digital information management, social media platforms, effective teamwork, emotional and coping intelligence, simulation, as well as advanced tools for teaching both hard and soft skills. Furthermore, this book also evaluates the evolving paradigm of how teachers can teach and how students can learn – and how the system evaluates success.
