Osces In Obstetrics And Gynaecology

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.

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
