oscesmart in Obstetrics & Gynaecology Practice vignettes, histories and mark schemes for your finals. Obstetrics & Gynaecology is one of few specialties that encompasses both medicine and surgery. With limited exposure at medical school, students can often find themselves merely skimming the surface of what is a complex, dynamic and critical aspect of the service provided by healthcare professionals. In a specialty rooted in asking personal questions, managing emergencies and tackling ethical dilemmas, medical students can often find themselves overwhelmed by the potential scenarios they may face in the OSCE. This book is designed to cover these topics, increasing your confidence in the period leading up to the exam. This book has been designed for a group of three students practicing OSCES, who rotate the role of actor, examiner, and candidate. We present a range of scenarios in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, outlining the scenarios often seen within the field. Many of the scenarios in this book have been based on real-life experiences that we have faced both as medical students and Foundation Year Doctors. This highlights the importance of achieving competence in this field, regardless of whether you intend to pursue a career in Obstetrics & Gynaecology. oscesmart revision series have been devised to aid your preparation for medical school OSCEs.
