MCQs IN ANATOMY A Self-Testing Supplement to Human anatomy for dental students - All Systems

Preface
The Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology at the Medical
University of Plovdiv has widely introduced into the teaching program
MCQs exam for student knowledge evaluation. This manual is the result
of such an effort for anatomy teaching of medical students. This method of
evaluation has become essential for every student to become familiar with
the concept and formats of multiple choice questions.
The thematic content of the test questions in the manual is consistent
with the specificity of training in anatomy of foreign students. Successfully
selected questions assist in a practical implementation of complex educational
content.
Indisputable contribution of collections of tests is the inclusion of questions
of various types and difficulty – from first and second cognitive level.
The questions are based on specified learning goals, the achievement of
which is diagnosed with didactic tests.
The questions in the book cover all aspects of the anatomy course. The
degree of difficulty has been graded to extend from those requiring the simplest
factual knowledge to good understanding. The set of MCQs presented
in the manual covers the commonly used formats. These should be read
in conjunction with relevant anatomy texts. One of the best ways to prepare
well for an MCQ exam is to make up MCQs whilst reading a text. It
is hoped that this will be stimulating to the students and help with better
understanding in acquiring the general skills of performing and reporting
anatomy examinations.
It is hoped that this book will provide students with a focused approach
to learning MCQs and prepare well for the modules of anatomy teaching
program.
Although our efforts to ensure accuracy and clarity in the wording of
questions any suggestions for improvement will be welcome. We expect
considerate and constructive feed-back from the students, in order this manual
to go beyond its pure bibliographical value.
We wish you success!
