Recommended Texts 

In addition to the texts that you used for the written exam the other texts we recommend for the OSCE are: 

• Talley N, O’Connor S, Examination Medicine – a Guide to Physician Training 

• Roberts JR, Hedges JR (eds), Clinical Procedures in Emergency Medicine - this is the go to book for procedures. When you purchase this book you also get access to loads of videos on line demonstrating the procedures. 


Web-based Resources 


• • Adelaide Emergency Physicians site for more practice OSCEs 

  • EduAcute Communication scenarios - useful practise for challenging communication stations

  • Geeky Medics - designed for medical students but the communication skills section has some useful revision e.g. explaining how to administer salbutamol using a spacer, mental state examination, sexual history taking. Clinical examination section also useful.

  • https://www.youtube.com/user/geekymedics123 - good videos for clinical examination, all a bit long but useful for revising the important bits and then you have to practice making them short and slick. 


  • LITFL - more examination videos
