IN ADDITION TO HELPING PHYSICIANS DETECT AREAS OF WEAKNESS IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THESE SUBJECTS, THE TEST PROVIDES A MEANS OF ENHANCING SKILLS IN TACKLING MULTIPLE-CHOICE TESTS SIMILAR TO THOSE USED BY MEDICAL BOARDS IN POSTGRADUATE EXAMINATIONS. THE TEST FOCUSES ON NEW INFORMATION, COVERING MORE TRADITIONAL MATERIAL IN A BRIEF SURVEY. TO PROVIDE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLES INVOLVED IN THE QUESTIONS (PARTICULARLY IN THE ORGANIC SECTION), BACKGROUND INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN THE STATEMENT OF THE QUESTION.

THE SECTION ON ORGANIC PSYCHIATRY INCLUDES QUESTIONS ON ACUTE BRAIN SYNDROME, AND ADDICTION; DELIRIUM, INTOXICATION, CHRONIC BRAIN SYNDROME ASSOCIATED WITH CIRCULATORY DISTURBANCES, INFECTIOUS DISEASES, TRAUMA AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, NEOPLASIAS, SENILE AND PRESENILE DEMENTIAS, AND DEMENTIFORM DISORDERS; ORGANIC ASPECTS OF MENTAL RETARDATION; PAROXYSMAL DISORDER AND MINIMAL BRAIN DYSFUNCTION; ENDOCRINE AND METABOLIC DISORDERS, SEXUAL DYSFUNCTIONAL, AND PSYCHOSOMATIC MEDICINE; ORGANIC AND BIOCHEMICAL FEATURES OF SCHIZOPHRENIAS AND AFFECTIVE DISORDERS; AND PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY.
