OSCEs for MRCOG Part 2

Начало книги

Achieving success in the MRCOG marks the beginning of joining a profession in which there must be continued professional development and learning. It is a hurdle to be conquered. Knowledge is not enough, technique is important.

The authors, Antony Hollingworth and Janice Rymer, are respected and experienced examiners used to setting marking schemes for the OSCE. This work will be an invaluable aid to study and self assessment. The scenarios used are all comparable to those met in the exam, and the properly prepared candidate would be well advised to consider using this book.

We therefore have extensive experience in teaching and preparing candidates for this examination, and also in examining candidates. In this book we have tried to give comprehensive examples of the type of OSCEs that you may come across and advice on how to approach these stations and the common problems that we have seen candidates encounter.
