Tonight we had an EMQ and 5 essay plans.
Essay 71 is an example of a topic that you probably don't know much about.
Try to produce and answer without looking up references.
You may get a topic like this is the exam and it is good to have practised how to scratch around for enough marks to pass - you will surprise yourself by how much you manage to come up with.

Education.
I am not an expert in this topic and offer this as some
help to working out answers if you get a question on teaching methods, which
apparently has happened. If you are an expert and can help to improve what
follows, that will be much appreciated.
If you get a question in the exam, please try to remember
as much as possible, particularly the option list and send it to me.
There are often a variety of different techniques that
could be used. I would guess that the exam committee will take care to restrict
the option list so that it is clear which is the best option.
Lead-in.
The following scenarios relate to medical education
Pick one option from the option list.
Each option can be used once, more than once or not at
all.
Abbreviations.
EMQ: extended,
matching question.
PBL: problem-based
learning.
Scenario 1.

appropriate approach?

aspects of the recent Maternal Mortality Meeting to the annual GP refresher
