OSCES in Obstetrics and Gynaecology for MRCOG - 3

The Part 3 MRCOG is a clinical assessment of knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies. Passing the Part 3 exam leads to the award of the Membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MRCOG) and remains the essential waypoint for UK trainees to pass from core training to higher training. Trainees must have passed MRCOG Parts 1 and 2 before they can sit the Part 3 exam (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists).

This book is a complete revision guide for students preparing for the MRCOG Part 3 examination.

Beginning with an overview of training in obstetrics and gynaecology in the UK and basics of the exam, the following chapters provide step by step tips and advice on aspects of the exam, patient safety, communication with patients and colleagues, information gathering, application of knowledge, and clinical governance.

The book features nearly 50 OSCE scenarios with variations that may be encountered in the exam, as well as clinical problems and their solutions.

Related specialties such as anatomy, genetics, immunology, endocrinology, and psychology, are also discussed.
