Paediatric OSCE

The exam is 15 minutes long, your examiner will be with you observing you elicit your history. You will be given 13 minutes to do so. In the final two minutes you will be required to SUMMARIZE the key features of the history and give a differential diagnosis. There will be a whistle blow to indicate the start of your station and a final double blow of the whistle at 15 minutes to indicate the end of the exam. You will not be required to present your full history nor to give in a written record of your history. There however will be paper available to make jottings during your history taking but these must be left with the examiner.

Summary and recommendations:

For your 3^rd Year clerkships the followings books are recommended:

1.       Aids in Undergraduate Medicine (a handy companion for medical clerkship especially for the OSCE, a definite must for any medical student entering their clinical years)

2.       Notes in Paediatrics (foundation topics and principles for the Paediatric rotation)

3.       Notes in Surgery (foundation topics and principles for the Surgery rotation)

4.     Notes in General Surgery $1000

5.       Get Through Medical School (1000 Questions to carry you through your 4 chief rotations, namely Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, and Obs & Gyn. A priceless tool in the preparation for end of clerkship exams as well as final MBBS.)

Also you may want to consider getting one or all of the following:

1.       MBBS compilation 90s to 2007

2.       Medicine Questions (Includes: MBBS 2008 – 11; End of clerkship exams)

3.       Surgery Questions (Includes: MBBS 2008- 11; 100 Cases in surgery)

For your 4^th Year clerkships:

1.       Roopnarinesingh Obstetrics Text +/- Dr. Bassaw’s Essentials of Obstetrics. (Dr. Bassaw is a Trinidadian OnG consultant, one of the examiners and also sets the MBBS OnG paper when Trinidad is assigned.)

2.       Obstetrics and Gynaecology Question book (Includes: MBBS question 2008 – 11; Roop MCQs; and more)

3.       Cases in Chemical Pathology (4^th year Pathology and Microbiology rotation)

In final year you commence Gynaecology and would then require the Roopnarinesingh Gynaecology text.

Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine: Board Review is recommended for those who want further questions to practice for MBBS also for USMLEs. Divided into questions based on medical subspecialties, it will definitely prove to be a useful study tool.

So attached are scanned copies of the Medicine Allocation.  So each person needs to Check each section for their names.  Each location corresponds to the diff blocks..

For each allocation you will need to find if you are at KPH or UHWI. So if you arent at KPH , you will need to find the sub group you are allocated whether Gen Med or Specialty.

Section 1 - Nov 19 - Dec 2.

Section 2 - Dec 3 - Jan 6 (including 2 weeks off from Dec 17 - Jan 1)

Section 3 - Jan 7 - FRIDAY Jan 25

After, you will need to find out what days you are on call.  Remember you are only on call at UHWI.  So you will only need to check the section that applies.  On average everyone is on call at least twice per section (once you are posted at UHWI).
