E-grāmata: Easy Guide to OSCEs for Final Year Medical Students, Second Edition [Taylor & Francis e-book]

This study guide for the final year Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) provides medical students in the UK with 99 sample OSCE stations, including stations related to history, the examination of various body systems and problems, and general clinical skills, as well as the management of the acutely unwell patient, prescribing, communication skills, data interpretation, and evidence appraisal. Each includes the steps and actions required for a specific situation, grading schemes for self-assessment, and what to say to the patient. Revised and expanded, this edition has additional commonly tested cases, more on how to present findings to the examiner, follow-up questions some medical schools are using in a PACES/VIVA-style assessment, and instruction on how to interpret a paper.

The values held by physicians have changed in recent years and may not be in keeping with the needs of patients today. This book is for everyone who has concerns about the provision of healthcare - physicians and other healthcare professionals and students policy makers and shapers and the general public. It pays particular attention to the qualities that the public wishes to find in its physicians and other healthcare practitioners. These expectations provide a pragmatic focus by pinpointing issues on which the medical profession need to respond. The work draws heavily on voices from literature the visual arts and popular culture to chart the changes in public perceptions in recent years and as well as enabling physicians to assess their own professionalism it can also serve as an introductory text for studying medical humanities and the role of healthcare in society.
