Advice from Dr. P. McKeown

 The clinical finals in 'Medicine and Surgery' consist of three clinical examinations:

 

  1. History Taking Examination (Long Case): lasts one hour. The cases will come from Medicine, Surgery, Psychiatry or General Practice. The examiners will observe you taking a history from a patient for 20 minutes. You then have 20 minutes to complete the examination, following which the examiners will return and discuss the case with you. Please note that patients rarely have only one clinical problem and it is not uncommon for patients to have medical, surgical and psychiatric problems.
     
  2. Clinical Examination (Minor Cases - Set One): lasts 30 minutes. There are two examiners (from Medicine / Surgery / Psychiatry / General Practice) and each examiner will lead for 15 minutes.
     
  3. Clinical examination (Minor Cases - Set Two): lasts 30 minutes. There are two examiners (from Medicine / Surgery / Psychiatry / General Practice) and each examiner will lead for 15 minutes.
