Performing well in the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) requires sound medical knowledge and a systematic approach to clinical examination. It is the most daunting assessment for medical students - they are expected to take full and accurate medical histories, perform structured and comprehensive clinical examinations, and display competence and dexterity when performing procedures. They must also demonstrate interest and enthusiasm towards their patients, and show empathy when appropriate. This book will help you to focus on key point scoring areas, learn golden rules for each examination and avoid pitfalls, potential disasters and common mistakes. It provides essential details on structure and approach, without weighing you down - its handy size means you can use it at the bedside, on the ward, or whilst observing other students examining a patient. The best practice methods for approaching patients at each station will ensure that you'll have the confidence to impress examiners.

Reviews
'It is natural to worry about performance and the possibility of making mistakes when under the scrutiny of observers, but good preparation and knowledge of how points are scored can do a lot to quash fears.' Ian Mann and Alastair Noyce, in the Preface 'Sure to become a mainstay on the ward, in the student common room and the doctor's mess. I only wish it had been available when I was student coming up to finals!' Susan Gelding in her Foreword
