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

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. Clinical Years’ Treasure Trove – https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Bf2BH3kiYIV8ogwMFmkLAsu6fFM3ZbLx 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 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. 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 ..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 There are several station types that you may encounter in your OSCE, however these are often integrated rather than a single type of station:
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 The Geeky Medics bank of 900+ OSCE stations provides everything you need to practise your clinical skills and prepare for your OSCEs.

Not only are there practice stations within the OSCE resources, there’s a table with a summary of all the OSCE stations from 2013 onwards for your year group. Enhance your OSCE practice with our collection of virtual patients, available as part of our OSCE Stations subscription.
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: 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. 🙂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 Solid state physics Quantum theory Chemical bonds SCIENCE Physics Condensed Matter Física do estado sólido Mecânica quântica Each OSCE station comes with relevant questions covering key learning points such as further investigations, differential diagnosis, management and complications.
