This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. It is intended to help you learn how best to approach a clinical problem from a surgical perspective. The text provides an insight into how a surgeon might manage a particular problem and consequently how to prepare for an OSCE that might entirely (or in part) consist of ‘surgical' OSCE stations. Although some of the stations in the book could easily be found in a "medicine" OSCE they are presented here from the perspective of both a student seeking to demonstrate well-developed surgical skills within an OSCE setting and a specialist surgical examiner. Presents a series of clinical problems with an emphasis on the surgical approach to the management. Appropriate for all students needing to demonstrate their clinical expertise in surgical cases. A companion book to the highly-commended "Core Clinical Skills for OSCEs in Medicine".

NEW: Mock marking schemes inside! Medical school is hard enough without having to pull together vast amounts of vague, incomplete, and often conflicting information from maladapted and sometimes unreliable resources. This book aims to save you time and trouble by gathering all the information that you need and presenting it to you in a concise, structured, and memorable fashion, freeing you to excel in your exams and become the best doctor that you can. What students made of previous editions After six years at medical school I have become very accustomed to having at least five or six books piled on my desk for each topic... Clinical Skills for OSCEs is the first book that I have come across where I can finally clear my desk and have one book in front of me. Such a joy! The book cleverly covers everything in a clear and succinct manner. This book is very well laid out and helpful for all clinical exams. The text is clear and concise and I would recommend it to any medical student preparing for OSCEs or other clinical exams. This is a really helpful tool for the OSCEs. In our final OSCE exam of the year I scored 9 excellent/good out of 13 stations and I can honestly say that I did so because of this text. This is one of the best OSCEs books I have purchased. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. It is a comprehensive reference for anyone taking an OSCE exam.
