Opis: Get Through Clinical Finals - M. Chan, N. Bahal, A. Papanikitas

There's no getting away from the fact that finals are tricky. Becoming a confident House Officer involves not only medicine, surgery and psychiatry, but also communication, ethics, and practical skills. Get Through Clinical Finals: A Toolkit for OSCEs is intended to help identify these areas, to show the reader how to avoid the common pitfalls and, by combining such information, how to successfully mind that gap. Forming part of the best selling and well respected 'Get Through' series, this book aims to provide medical students with practical advice on how to revise and pass their OSCEs (Observed Structured Clinical Examinations). Featuring numerous practice scenarios in all the major specialties, Get Through Clinical Finals contains the information that finalists are expected to know but are rarely taught. Written by recently qualified doctors, this is the ideal toolkit in the run up to clinical finals. Get Through Clinical Finals guides you by the hand through your OSCE revision and gives you tips that will stand you in good stead for actual clinical practice, not just the exams. With a warm friendly tone, the book claims to get you through the stress of OSCE revision. All three authors are GKT graduates so know the importance placed on communication skills at our medical school. This comes across quite strongly: there are frequent tips on how to communicate things properly as well as a whole section on communication OSCE stations with practical scenarios to practise. -- GKT Gazette 5 Stars: Excellent guideThis guide is truly the best I have come across. I would highly recommend it.
