OSCE Cases with Mark Schemes: A Revision Aid for Medical Finals

Product Information

A Use of Evidence Station usually entails a patient coming in to see you about a research article they’ve read online; about a particular drug they’re taking or have heard about. You will be shown the abstract of the article and will be asked questions by the patient regarding what the conclusion of the article is, what certain words mean (e.g. sensitivity, number needed to treat) and whether you would recommend the patient taking the medication based on their history.

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 Appropriately dealing with an emergency situation using a DRABCDE response (and being able to deliver a clear handover) 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. 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.

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. 🙂 Explain the diagnosis of schizophrenia (Mrs Banton) PDF | Word (includes guidelines for information to be imparted) 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 .. 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.
