Critical Parts of the Course

The OSCE requires you to have expert knowledge, targeted and effective clinical examination skills as well as being an outstanding communicator, this is both as a team leader and as a teacher.
When people fail the Written exam, it is usually a knowledge issue, not necessarily a technique issue. Knowledge is the key, there is no magic, there is no shortcut! In the OSCE having the knowledge is one thing, having the skill to demonstrate it in discussing patient cases or issues with patients whilst showing empathy and understanding, is something we must have to do what we do.
​It can be taught.
Taking a good history and communicating with the examiners, seems easy, but getting the 'speak' right is a skill.
The clinical examination, requires the performance of a focused examination, that is appropriate for the context presented. It’s not just about performing an exam, it’s about knowing what you’re looking for.
Remember the 6 areas tested- You will be examined and re-examined on these area topics during the course:
1. History Taking
2. Physical Examination
3. Challenging Communication
4. Team Based Simulation
5. Teaching Advice to a Junior
6. Standardised Case-Based Discussion

The Clinical Examination

You must be an expert at this and in a very specific way. You won't be required to complete the full examination, but will be required to complete portions of each examination.

Your exams must be swift and polished. You must have done the exam many times before, so that on the day you will be thinking of the interpretation of the sign and not about what to examine next. 
​We will take you through the most important examinations.

Clinical Scenarios

We will cover scenarios ranging from direct patient communication such as sharing bad news, explaining, outcomes, and describing procedures, to the impaired doctor, complaints and more.

Simulation

Part of this examination will be simulation.
We will take you through the important simulation, so you feel at home in the context of the examination. Training you in simulation is not about using the highest fidelity equipment, its about you getting into the moment.

VIRTUAL and Live Video Teaching

The Course gives you access to a virtual component that takes you over examination techniques, scenarios, investigations and more, it can be combined with an online live video conference component which allows you to prepare remotely in these challenging times

Why We Run This Site

I remember sitting for my Fellowship Exam and there were no resources. My hospital put things together, but it was mostly testing and teasing you afterwards, or the old teaching by embarrassment technique! Those stares afterwards when you didn't know something. Not On, in my Book!

I started putting this course together some 9 years ago and then stopped teaching others, whilst I continued to build it and just teach my registrars. Now, because so many have asked for me to put it back on, here it is! The New Improved Version!
You will reach a new level of confidence, when you acquire the ability to diagnose by examination. My goal for you is to pass the exam and to also reach a new level in clinical skill.
The ability to examine with intent, the ability to 'speak the speak' and the confidence to tackle the most challenging cases you will  be presented......These are the skills I want you to have.
