Osces Emqs And Bofs In Obstetrics And Gynaecology

This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It is a comprehensive revision book in Obstetrics and Gynaecology that covers all the main types of questions used in medical student and trainee exams: Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs), Extended Matching Questions (EMQs) and Best of Five Questions (BOFs). Excellent value for money - covering the breadth of questions types. Four OSCE circuits. Communication and structured oral stations. 50 EMQs with explanatory answers. 50 BOFs with explanatory answers. The first edition concentrated on OSCEs. This new edition has been expanded to include other forms of testing (extended matching questions and best of five questions).

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.

OSCEs are a familiar component of postgraduate examinations worldwide, simulating clinical scenarios to assess a candidate's clinical skills and a range of competencies. This book will combine comprehensive knowledge and evidence-based practice standards in obstetrics and medical complications of pregnancy into a patient-centered approach using standardized OSCE scenarios. Taking an innovative, unique approach to diverse common clinical scenarios, it will be useful to trainees preparing for high-stakes certification examinations, and all healthcare workers providing obstetrical care. By using the provided clinical cases for self-assessment or peer-review practice, important aspects of focused history taking and patient management are elucidated. For those working in obstetrical care, this book is an essential teaching tool for all levels of training. The book will therefore serve as a key teaching tool at various levels. Readers can use the clinical cases for self-assessment or peer-review practice, to elucidate important aspects of focused history-taking and evidence-based patient management.

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.
