Clinical Examination and Communication Skills FEEDBACK
This intensive one-day revision course covered the clinical examination and communication components of the MRCS Part B exam with special emphasis on clinical consultation skills. The course aimed to consolidate the trainee's understanding of the clinical consultation skills component of the exam, and aid the trainee's ability to perform clinical examinations efficiently and present the findings to the examiner in a systematic yet concise manner. The forenoon session covered all important clinical examinations that are tested in the exam and the after-noon session was dedicated to structured interviews, communication skills workstations and practical skills. Eight patient-centred clinical scenarios were used to reflect the situations experienced in everyday practice; these scenarios were in line with what is commonly tested in the exam. A total of 25 candidates attended this course and their feedback is collated in the subsequent pages.
Clinical Examination Topics:Candidates were divided into small groups and they went through the following clinical examinations on simulated patient/volunteers:
Examination of abdomen and abdominal organsExamination of inguinal hernia and scrotal swellingsExamination of varicose veins and leg ulcersExamination of peripheral arterial diseaseExamination of breast and breast lumpsExamination of hip, knee, shoulder and back Examination of cranial nervesExamination of Cardio-respiratory SystemENT Examination
Clinical Consultation Skills: These stations consisted of, amongst others, information giving and information gathering, challenging situation/patient, difficult consultation, breaking bad news, explaining a diagnosis or discussing management options, consent in surgery and telephone communication.
