OSCEs in Psychiatry

OSCEs in Psychiatry is a practical guide for candidates preparing for the Observed Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) of the MRCPsych. Part 1 of the book gives tips for preparing for and passing the exam. Part 2 explores the skills tested in the different OSCE 'stations' that a candidate might encounter. This is backed up by the accompanying CD-ROM, on which interactive video footage allows prospective candidates to experience 'virtual' OSCE stations and test their own performance.
