Exams

OSCE examinations are central to the assessment of clinical competence at medical school and beyond, as doctors progress through their career in medicine. The OSCE Revision Guide for Medical Students, produced in association with OSCEstop, is an excellent resource for medical students and junior doctors alike. It is an updated, printed version of all the notes on the popular website OSCEstop, with new revisions, diagrams and locked notes. At 376 pages in length, it provides the most comprehensive coverage for medical school OSCEs and is packed full of practical information to equip readers with all of the essential skills they require to excel both at medical school and as junior doctors. It is divided into nine chapters, each covering an essential aspect of the OSCE: history taking, clinical examination, vivas and spotters, management of acutely unwell patients, clinical procedures, interpretation, prescribing, communication skills, clerking and reviewing patients. All of the relevant content from the extremely popular OSCEstop.com website is included and is fully revised, updated and reformatted.
