You can also use our software to study as a group easily by sharing a PIN with friends and assigning them their relevant roles (e.g. examiner, patient, student). OSCE group study practice You can then use our ‘Group Study Mode’ to assign roles (e.g. student, examiner, patient) for each station easily using a PIN. The book includes chapters on communication skills, medical ethics, explanation stations, paediatrics and obstetrics and gynaecology subjects which are sometimes neglected elsewhere. All four authors have taken part in medical student teaching and OSCE examinations. They understand what will earn marks in the actual exam. All the OSCE scenarios are from stations previously examined in the UK's top medical schools. This book prepares the student for what the actual finals exam will be like.
Enhance your OSCE practice with our collection of virtual patients, available as part of our OSCE Stations subscription.
Whenever you go into placement, set a goal in your mind about what you want to gain out of attending based on the skills required of you as a junior doctor. Ask your supervising clinician which patients would be good to clerk/examine and speak to them about your differential diagnosis as well as coming up with a management plan. Offer to document in the notes during ward rounds (remember to get this countersigned by a doctor), as this will be your bread and butter when you become a Foundation Year 1 doctor. Look up any investigations the patients may have had e.g. blood test results, ABG analysis, ECG, chest x-ray and try to interpret these results yourself before discussing with your doctor. Especially with imaging, it’s not only good practice to interpret what you see but also to present your findings as this could also be asked of you in the OSCE. Seek out opportunities to practise procedures such as cannulation, ABG’s, catheterisation as you are required to be confident in performing these when you become a doctor plus, you get a sign off for your procedures list so it’s a win-win situation.

Considering that medicine here at UCLMS is a spiral course, you are expected to recall knowledge from earlier years in your later years. Therefore, based on this information you know that you will need to revise the statistics we learnt in CPP to do well in this station. This same principle applies to Ethics and Law stations as previously learnt knowledge is required in addition to attending your dedicated CPP sessions in fourth year. This tutorial is really useful in covering the important topics you need to know for both types of stations and is available on the Clinical years Treasure Trove (which contains lots of tutorials/resources to help you prepare for exams). I would also recommend creating Use of Evidence Stations yourselves, by finding research articles, looking at the abstracts and coming up with questions to ask so that you can practise doing these stations with those in your OSCE Group. Spend time on the wards Examination Skills - Practical Skills - Data Interpretation - Closing Remarks Anshan Publishers is a publisher of fine medical, scientific, and technical books. We find the best titles from our worldwide publishing partners and bring them to the global marketplace. We publish in a wide range of fields, Anatomy The Geeky Medics bank of 900+ OSCE stations provides everything you need to practise your clinical skills and prepare for your OSCEs. Our OSCE bank (a.k.a. OSCE cases) is ideal for students at all stages of training, including those wanting to practice OSCE stations for medical finals. We also provide free sample OSCE stations for all of the station types. New: AI virtual patients

You may also be allocated a tutor for teaching depending on the rotation you’re on, so use these tutorials to go over any topics you find difficult to understand as well as going over skills that you aren’t able to learn from a textbook e.g. prescribing, ward documentation, examination skills or just any of the skills mentioned in the list above. When you get closer to your exams, you might want to do OSCE-Practice style tutorials with your tutor/twilight tutor e.g. I went over paediatric history-taking, ABCDE stations and prescribing with my paediatrics tutor. Amnesty Each OSCE station comes with relevant questions covering key learning points such as further investigations, differential diagnosis, management and complications. Ideal for students of all stages Presenting Complaints - Psychiatry History Taking - Pediatrics History Taking - Obstetrics History Taking - Gynaecology History Taking - Medical Ethics - Difficult Communication Scenarios - Pharmacology - Consenting - Explanation of Management and Results SECTION TWO, PERFORMANCE STATIONS
The thought of completing practical assessments at the end of the year can be very daunting, especially considering the large variety of skills and knowledge you will be tested on. However, the reason why OSCEs form part of our summative exams is to ensure that we become good and safe doctors by testing the important competencies that are required of one. It’s very normal to feel nervous about this exam but hopefully, by covering some of the different methods and resources you can use to prepare for your OSCEs in this article, this will alleviate some of the stress. There are several station types that you may encounter in your OSCE, however these are often integrated rather than a single type of station: Interacting with patients you meet is the best way to truly prepare for your exams, as you’ll be doing the same thing you did on the wards in an OSCE station under time pressure. Therefore, the more you speak to patients, the more prepared you’ll feel when it comes to exam day and thus, the better doctor you will be. Therefore, practising these common skills whilst you’re on placement or with your OSCE groups will stand you in good stead when it comes to your exams. Again, you can use the previous station titles to come up with stations of your own or find similar stations online. Our advanced AI technology lets you chat naturally with our range of simulated patients to practice your history taking and clinical reasoning skills.
Explain the diagnosis of schizophrenia (Mrs Banton) PDF | Word (includes guidelines for information to be imparted) Medical students often feel they understand the theory behind the clinical aspect of medicine but seldom have enough chance to put what they learn into practice. In addition, clinical examinations pose a challenge to students who may be technically and theoretically excellent, but who have poor examination technique. Geeky Medics is a great resource for learning how to interpret investigations, especially for radiology as they give a clear structure that you can follow. In addition, they have videos and a step by step guide to performing the procedures mentioned above. Another resource I’ve found useful for imaging is Radiology Masterclass . Make use of your tutors around you Alternatively, you can join our community chat server and coordinate a group session with some fellow Geeky Medics. 🙌 We’ll search & match you with another user
Before I apologize, here I am not offering it for free, but you have to join our service, and get a trial period of 14–30 days, you can cancel it if it is uncomfortable. Thank you so much .. Hope you are pleased to join our service, and you can read all the books you want .. As the aim of these assessments are to test your competency of doing tasks required of a junior doctor, there are several skills that are tested each year which form part of the assessment criteria for your year group. For example, I’ve attached the previous Year 4 OSCE stations where you’re able to see the common skills that you are expected to know:Sujikka Suthakaran (Year 6) runs through how you can approach preparing for your summative OSCE assessment during your clinical years. We’ve produced a brief video showing you how you can create your own OSCE stations and then organise them into circuits to share with others. 🙂
