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

Product Information

A collection of interactive clinical case scenarios aligned with UK Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA) presentations. These are just some of the documents I personally used the most when revising for OSCEs, however there’s lots more that you can go through to get more insight into your exam. Contents include: Section One - Communication Stations, 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; and Section Two - Performance Stations, Examination Skills, Practical Skills, Data Interpretation, and Closing Remarks. 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.

This is one of our OSCE stations’ key advantages over OSCE station PDFs, helping you target the areas you find most challenging. It can be difficult to know where to begin with preparing for the OSCEs, but the first thing you should do is to form OSCE groups, if you haven’t already.g. blood test results, ABG analysis, ECG, chest x-ray and try to interpret these results yourself before discussing with your doctor.

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. We’ve recently created a collection of over 150 PDF OSCE checklists covering key OSCE stations based on our comprehensive OSCE guides. 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. Whether it be your friends, flatmates or those in your firm, having a group of people you can meet up with on a weekly basis either in person or remotely to practise doing OSCE stations is really beneficial.

I found the latter to be extremely helpful in understanding how certain topics can be assessed, how the mark schemes are structured and what information is important to mention in such clinical scenarios.

Sujikka Suthakaran (Year 6) runs through how you can approach preparing for your summative OSCE assessment during your clinical years. It’s a brilliant learning experience, as you will have the opportunity to practise various different skills, assess your ability to perform under time pressure and you’ll get feedback which should enable you to plug any gaps in your knowledge. Alternatively, you can join our community chat server and coordinate a group session with some fellow Geeky Medics. 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.Simply create a circuit by tapping the ‘Add to circuit’ button on the stations you want to include in the mock OSCE circuit and then share this with those who want to participate.

Examination Skills - Practical Skills - Data Interpretation - Closing Remarks Anshan Publishers is a publisher of fine medical, scientific, and technical books.It contains information regarding your exam dates, a summary of both formative and summative assessments, the methods by which your exams are marked in addition to sample OSCE stations which are in the OSCE resources section. As such, this should help prepare you for how you approach each particular station when it comes to your OSCE. The book includes chapters on communication skills, medical ethics, explanation stations, paediatrics and obstetrics and gynaecology subjects which are sometimes neglected elsewhere. A resource I would recommend is the book “ OSCE Cases with Mark Schemes ” which contains a variety of stations assessing different skills in each speciality in addition to detailed mark schemes.
