Preface
Clinical examinations are a stressful but necessary part of medical school finals. However, with the appropriate preparation and practice, they can become significantly less daunting and even an opportunity to prove your clinical skills.
The aim of this book is to help in this process of revision by providing an overview of common clinical situations encountered in OSCE stations. This quick reference text allows you and your peers to test each other’s skills both at the bedside and in role play scenarios.
Although this book has not been written as an exhaustive guide, it provides the essential knowledge necessary to succeed in your exams.
Good luck!
