It consists of five OSCE circuits, each with 20 stations and two rest stations. The questions of each station are assembled to represent as closely as possible those of a typical DRCOG paper, in terms of content, type of station and general display. Answers and commentaries for the stations follow each circuit. As appropriate, tips and pitfalls which came to light during validation of the questions are highlighted. The book begins with the chapter What is an OSCE? and closes with two typical MCQ test papers of a similar level of difficulty to those in the DRCOG. The first known OSCE book for obstetricians/gynaecologists which is particularly suitable in DRCOG candidates. Concise introduction to the OSCE. Invaluable commentary to help candidates avoid common pitfalls. Practical advice for preparing for the DRCOG.
