Chestnuts for the MRCP : Differential Diagnoses in Medicine

A catalogue of lists that have been amalgamated by previous MRCP candidates who have sat the part 1 and 2 examinations.

The lists or 'chestnuts' contain the most important differential diagnoses that are relevant to clinical practice and the MRCP exam.

The lists enable candidates (and practising physicians) to create useful differentials without having to consult a medical textbook every time.

As the format of the MRCP exam is constantly under review, it is hoped that these lists will provide a concise and portable text, which will be continually relevant to the examination, as well as clinical medicine.
