Pass Medical Finals 2011 - Weekend Course
If you want to improve your performance in the upcoming medical exams then the Pass Medical Finals (PMF) course is for you. OSCEs and PACEs have consistently been shown to be the part of medical exams that students perform worst in. The PMF 2011 course has been designed by experienced medical tutors with this in mind. The course focuses on the competencies that let students down: examination technique; presentation skills; and answering viva questions. You will also learn the key knowledge that you need for medical finals.
Learning Model
The ideal learning model for medical finals is to apply theoretical knowledge to the OSCE setting, and that is what we aspire to. The lectures take place over two days, following a format which has been validated by medical educationalists, and medical publishers:
1. Case discussion - each session will begin by discussing a typical case, as the basis for further learning.
2. Examination tips - examination skills are the key to passing the final OSCE. We will discuss the examination techniques and findings that the examiners are looking for in each case.
3. Viva questions - to translate that borderline score into a safe pass requires core knowledge as well as a good OSCE performance. We will discuss the key questions and hot topics that examiners will ask.
4. Presentation skills - we will provide you with the ability to present in a calm and confident manner, to ensure you convert your knowledge into performance.
