Full Description:
Core clinical skills for OSCEs in Surgery is intended to help you learn how best to approach a clinical problem from a surgical perspective. The text provides an insight into how a surgeon might manage a particular problem and consequently how to prepare for an OSCE that might entirely (or in part) consist of surgical OSCE stations. Although some of the stations in the book could easily be found in a medicine OSCE they are presented here from the perspective of both a student seeking to demonstrate well-developed surgical skills within an OSCE setting and a specialist surgical examiner.

Gives practical advice on how the student can improve their performance By Will Scotton – MBBS Year 3, GKT King’s College London, 14 April 2009

This book is split into 7 main sections by type of skill. In addition there is an separate index for the OSCE Stations included in these sections, that is segmented by Physiological System i.e. CV, Respiratory, GI, GU, Neurology, Haematological, Locomotor and General. This is a useful addition as it facilitates the use of the book for building of the skill set required for the OSCE’s, as well as for focused revision of particular stations that may come up. EASE OF USE – Each chapter is laid out in a logical and clear way. The layout of the book means that a student can read it cover to cover or just dip in an out of particular sections. This latter approach is facilitated by the index which allows them to identify a particular station by either its system or the skill that it tests. BEST FEATURES – Each Chapter starts with a example history / examination and then gives comments on what the student did well, what they did badly and suggestions for further practice. This is an great feature is it gives practical advice on how the student can improve their performance, and also gives the student something against which they can compare their own approach to the station. FAVOURITE CHAPTER – The OSCE section is particularly useful as it explains to the student what a typical OSCE will be comprised of, the way they are marked, as well as tips for how to prepare for the big day!
