Focused History Taking for OSCEs by David Mccollum
This straight-forward guide to taking patient history comprehensively covers all of the commonly seen OSCE scenarios within the current undergraduate medical curriculum. Focused History Taking for OSCEs includes an introductory chapter with general OSCE guidance, including tips from recently qualified doctors and highly respected physicians and surgeons who commonly examine OSCEs. It covers over 50 histories based on presenting complaints - more than any other text on the market - thoroughly testing both knowledge and examination technique. Each history is based around what the candidate is required to consider, with mnemonics and list-based breakdowns to aid prompt recall. It then concludes by outlining key aspects for each differential diagnosis as well as a list of investigations and management options.
'Suitable as a revision and learning tool for students, but also as a teaching guide for clinicians, this textbook approaches each clinical scenario in a systematic and appropriately structured fashion - working from first principles with common presenting complainrs as sub-chapters within each speciality, then discussing a list of potential differentials for each complaint - guaranteeting enough information to impress in a clinical environmentA definite addition to any medical students bookshelf.' Aidan Bannon and Dr Gerry Gormley, Ulster Medical Journal
