Description
MasterPass Series
‘Amongst medical students, clinical OSCEs in specialty subjects are notorious for being the most difficult to prepare for due to the paucity of any books dedicated to the subject. For this very reason, we have written The Easy Guide to OSCEs for Specialties to fill this void and ease the already burdensome workload of medical students. It has been compiled by recently qualified doctors who have experienced the new OSCE system first hand. The book has been written in a fresh style covering over 80 OSCE examination stations in a wide range of different subjects.
‘This book is unique, covering medical specialties including Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Sexual Health, Paediatrics, Dermatology, Rheumatology, Orthopaedics, Emergency Medicine, Anaesthetics, Geriatrics and Palliative Care, as well as Patient Discharge and the all important Communications Skills. We have instilled time-saving, student friendly mnemonics, vibrant diagrams and extra clinical conditions to aid the revision process. We have also added end-of-OSCE station case summaries to simulate what information a student would be expected to glean and present to the examiners under exam conditions.’ Muhammad Akunjee, Syed Jalali and Shoaib Siddiqui in their Preface
‘The Easy Guide to OSCEs for Specialties with its innovative approach, well-researched material and breadth of knowledge provides the student with a firm foundation to tackle the often difficult OSCE scenarios head on. There are vibrant illustrations, boxes of facts and differentials in addition to well thought out clinically relevant case summaries. The book also deals in depth with a wide range of difficult communication skill stations giving students an excellent framework to approach such scenarios in full confidence both under exam conditions and in real life. We are sure that this book will be rewarding for medical students and examiners alike. We believe that it is essential reading for any student wishing to excel in their exams with flair.’ Graham Boswell and Steve Riley in the Foreword

Review Quotes ‘Very in-depth regarding what should be done at each stage of the examination, whatever that may be. Provides a good introduction to each specialty, giving information on core learning cases. Fully up to date, uses current medical terminology, in a way that is understandable and clear. The book is a great aid to learning, especially in terms of consolidating your knowledge and applying it practically. Overall this book proves to be a great revision tool. The mark scheme layout is massively beneficial to a student wanting to tick all the boxes and gain insight into the key principles of each examination.' NEWCASTLE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT
'It is good to see students being encouraged to explore areas such as medication supervision and dosset boxes, cognition and mood. Mnemonics, diagrams and additional information on subjects such as dementia serve to make revision more interesting. All in all, a wide ranging, excellent aid to specialty OSCEs.' AGE AND AGEING 2009
