Main description:

MasterPass Series 'Amongst medical students clinical OSCEs in specialty subjects are notorious for being the most difficult to prepare for due to the paucity of any books dedicated to the subject. For this very reason we have written The Easy Guide to OSCEs for Specialties to fill this void and ease the already burdensome workload of medical students. It has been compiled by recently qualified doctors who have experienced the new OSCE system first hand. The book has been written in a fresh style covering over 80 OSCE examination stations in a wide range of different subjects. 'This book is unique covering medical specialties including Obstetrics Gynaecology Sexual Health Paediatrics Dermatology Rheumatology Orthopaedics Emergency Medicine Anaesthetics Geriatrics and Palliative Care as well as Patient Discharge and the all important Communications Skills. We have instilled time-saving student friendly mnemonics vibrant diagrams and extra clinical conditions to aid the revision process. We have also added end-of-OSCE station case summaries to simulate what information a student would be expected to glean and present to the examiners under exam conditions.'
