55.         Role-play. Medical examiner. Explain to FY1.

Candidate’s instructions.

You are the registrar on call on the labour ward. It is quiet. You were having a coffee with the consultant and FY1. The FY1 mentioned that she had heard mention of medical examiners yesterday and had not heard of MEs before. The Consultant has told you to tell her about the ME system as if it was a Part 3 station and you are preparing for your Part 3 exam. The Consultant is a Part 3 examiner and has told you that you need to think of how to display senior doctor thinking and not just outline the basics so that you impress as an outstanding candidate.

 

56.         Viva. Air travel in pregnancy.

Candidate’s instructions.

This is a viva station about air travel & pregnancy.

The examiner will ask you 15 questions.

When you have finished a question, you will not be allowed to return to it as later questions may indicate the answer. If you return, no marks will be awarded, even for correct answers.

 

57.         Prepare a ‘blurb’. Screening for Down’s syndrome

Candidate’s instructions.

Preparing ‘blurbs’ is basic and Down’s screening is a common topic.

We have done it several times as part of a role-play, but not as an exercise on its own.

This is meant as a reminder that it should be a routine part of your study group activity.
