Product Description

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is an established section in the part I examination and in many anaesthetic examinations throughout the world. It enables the examiners to assess a candidate's performance in a variety of areas and in topics that were not previously tested. The first edition sought to give examples of OSCE stations with answers. It was hoped that this would be of benefit to candidates as well as trainers looking for guidance about the type and style of stations that might be encountered. The second edition gives more examples of stations with answers. Candidates should find the answers helpful in assessing the level of knowledge required. Many stations require candidates to have a well-rehearsed system for them like examining the anaesthetic machine, or a system of the body. The second edition has been expanded to include these systems. More background information has been included so that once a system is understood it can be applied to different situations.

Useful to get a feel of what's to come!
To some the OSCE is a completely unknown field to enter. This book aims to take away some of that mystery. It begins by way of an explaination of what is involved in an OSCE an some general tips on how to pass them, useful for anyone! The rest is devoted to example OSCE questions and thankfully answers. This is a fairly useful book for revue of what is generaly involved in an anaesthetic OSCE. Some of the questions are quite close to what comes up in fact! However too much is spent on specific questions rather than the broader picture of technique, especially for the history taking and communication stations. Having said that for people who have never faced an OSCE before this may save a retake!
