How to Prepare for OSCEs - How to Survive Medical School #02

[@zed3063]

Well this is very conveniently timed, thanks dude. I appreciate the guy that gave alternatives to practicing on friends given that I barely have any

[@TeganCosgrove]

I find writing out the steps and marking myself against the schema helpful, then moving onto videoing myself examining a teddy bear or non-med friend and marking myself that way helpful.

TCosy Videoing is a good idea! Will give that a go 👍🏼

Wish I had this last year! I got through OSCEs all right but it wasn’t easy - best way I found to prepare was coming up with my own OSCE stations and keep practicing with friends and like Ali said, practicing for the viva questions with the common, chronic (stable) conditions - though our viva questions were often completely unrelated to the examination findings - for example, my respiratory station was someone with a pneumonectomy scar but my viva questions and data interpretation were all on pneumonia. The two key tips for passing OSCEs are looking and sounding confident and not doing anything that would the patient in danger.

@@kawlah3452 I'm afraid not - I'm just trying to practice practice practice. I think the more automated it becomes the less the nerves can get to you on exam day - at least that's what I'm hoping! Good luck, x

Agree on practice with 3-4 friends and learning in isolation for the examinations, treatments
