oscesmart in paediatrics

Practice vignettes, histories and mark schemes for your finals. The 50 medical student OSCEs book in paediatrics book aims to help students and junior doctors prepare themselves for medical school OSCEs, as well as postgraduate exams such as MRCPCH or DCH clinical exams.

Cases and scenarios have been carefully selected and written to challenge candidates and prepare you thoroughly for cases that commonly appear in exams at all levels.

The stations have been designed for you to practice in pairs or small groups, but also have central learning points that allow for reflection later, to allow you to maximise your performance in the real exam, or simply refresh your memory while working on the ward.

The book is split broadly into history taking, explanation, clinical examination and clinical skills. The stations cover a range of systems and scenarios designed to test and improve your communication, examination and key clinical skills.

Working through all the cases in this book will not only make you prepared for OSCE stations in paediatrics but will also make you more confident handling the common clinical scenarios in your future career.
