OSCEs in Psychiatry prepares readers for their Objective Structured Clinical Examination by providing example scenarios like those used in the MRCPysch CASC (Clinical Assessment of Skills and Competencies) and encountered by resident doctors in psychiatry in everyday practice.
The book gives doctors more than a hundred clinical scenarios to practice communicating effectively with patients and carers, conduct thorough assessments, explain diagnoses and management plans, and demonstrate their knowledge and skills to examiners. Each chapter provides an instruction for the candidate, a plan, and an action for conducting the interview. This simple, structured framework includes a comprehensive set of clear, focused, and concise questions and explanations. Instructions for the role player are provided via the book’s webpage on routledge.com.
Written by recent CASC passers and by experts in training and coaching resident doctors for psychiatry exams, this book an invaluable resource for both resident doctors training in psychiatry and for medical students.
“This new book, OSCEs in Psychiatry, edited by Albert Michael and others is comprehensive in its approach. It covers every conceivable diagnostic category. The scenarios and situations are extraordinary for their range and similitude to clinical reality. The book is particularly impressive in its advice to trainees – it contains lessons for life, not only for the examination. The book is a brilliant achievement, bringing as it does the highest level of clinical thinking and expertise to bear on the instruction of trainees preparing for the clinical examination.”
Femi Oyebode MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPsych, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Birmingham, UK
“This comprehensive work addresses what has been a glaring absence from libraries within UK-orientated psychiatry – not a guide to the ‘what’ or the ‘when’, but material on the one thing trainees themselves can control, the ‘how’. It provides an invaluable template to aid exam progression but, for the diligent student, also offers those structures that will aid progression in wider clinical practice. An admirable addition to the educational repertoire of modern psychiatry.”
David Cunningham Owens, MD, FRCP, FRCPsych, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, University of Edinburgh, UK
