Osce Questions And Model Papers In Obstetrics And Gynaecology

This book has been written for medical students preparing for the final MBBS examination and for postgraduate students preparing for the Doctor of Medicine in Obstetrics and Gynaecology Part 2 and MRCOG Part 3 examinations. With over 300 images, the questions have been included from almost every practical procedure which is carried out in the antenatal and gynaecology wards, clinics and the labour ward. History taking, communication skills, surgical skills and teaching modules have been included.

OSCE examinations are compulsory for Medical students and specialist trainees. The student is led through a clinical scenario and then assessed on examination, history taking, investigation, diagnosis and management. Some students are able to practice OSCEs with a teacher acting as the patient, however not all candidates have equal/sufficient access to teachers as such a resource. This often leads to examination candidates not being prepared for the OSCE exam format, performing poorly compared with written paper examinations. The proposed book will cover an approach to passing the OSCE as well as 60 practice questions. Each case will have a sample marking scheme. After the marking scheme there will be a discussion and key points/pitfalls section

A companion volume to Rymer: Preparation and Revision for the DRCOG. OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) is a technique of assessment now central to the DRCOG examination. The student has to circulate past a number of 'stations' within a specified time interval and then answer questions on the case. Stations could be a photograph, a radiograph, a specimen, or a patient. Because of the time limit there is a technique required for success. This book gives students practice in OSCE examinations, comprising 4 OSCE-style examinations. Each consists of roughly 25 'stations', including colour photographs and radiographs. After each set, full explanatory answers are given. There is also a useful chapter on OSCE technique and the best way to approach this type of assessment.

The OSCE (Observed Structured Clinical Examination) is a recently introduced examination for trainee obstetricians and gynaecologists. The examination requires students to move around a series of stations where skills such as clinical assessment, data interpretation, and communication are tested. At each station the candidate is expected to deal with the situation using a problem-orientated approach. This text includes three full OSCE papers and features full answers to each question. By self-testing using this book candidates will be equiped to deal with the many different scenarios likely to be encountered in these examinations and in the wider context will help the medic to develop essential practical skills.

This self-assessment book enables candidates to practise their technique for the new OSCEs, particularly for the OSCEs of the DRCOG. It consists of five OSCE circuits, each with 20 stations and two rest stations. The questions of each station are assembled to represent as closely as possible those of a typical DRCOG paper, in terms of content, type of station and general display. Answers and commentaries for the stations follow each circuit. As appropriate, tips and pitfalls which came to light during validation of the questions are highlighted. The book begins with the chapter What is an OSCE? and closes with two typical MCQ test papers of a similar level of difficulty to those in the DRCOG. The first known OSCE book for obstetricians/gynaecologists which is particularly suitable in DRCOG candidates. Concise introduction to the OSCE. Invaluable commentary to help candidates avoid common pitfalls. Practical advice for preparing for the DRCOG.

This book provides an invaluable guide to passing the MRCOG Part 2 OSCE examination. It has been written by clinicians with personal experience of the clinical examination who are currently involved with running OSCE courses. The book is primarily aimed at candidates preparing for the OSCE but will also be helpful to those at earlier stages of their careers. The text will also be useful to senior doctors assisting trainees to prepare for the Part 2 examination. The book covers the different scenarios the candidate will face in the examination, with examples of each type of station, so that candidates can see exactly what is expected of them. This book is easy to read and will help to prepare candidates for most eventualities in the RCOG OSCE examination.
