Dear all,

I have my final clinical exam tomorrow and would appreciate some adivce on how to
give a good and informative presenation.We have to do a full new patient assessment and present to the examiners all the findings in 5 minutes.Therefore,it has to be very succint and relevant.

Thank you for any suggestions.

 

Re: Patient Presentations

1st don´t stress sounds easier said than done but when you stress you don´t think clearly so take a quick breath and relax.

Get you points of presentation together clearly and don´t waffle on about 1 point too much.

When you get a question stop for a second or 2 get your thoughts together and then begin to speak.

Use your patient assessment time well get lots of info and workout whats important and whats not

But to be true you got the main point

and also remember the examiner wants you to pass your goal is to show them that you should, so questions are not designed to trick you up but let you show your knowledge.

Good luck

 

Good luck.

And remember, a good clinician is aware of their limitations and regularly updates/ researches.
If there is something that you don't know, let the examiners know that you intend to follow up at a later date. Sometimes you must step back from the situation and take the time to process all the information.

 

Hi,
Good luck tomorrow, they're always good exams to have finished.
As some-one who has been involved with these exams for several years here is what I think can help:

Make sure your info flows clearly i.e. try not to hop around too much
Relax (Hard) take a breath for a moment usually examiners will be understanding
Step back from your patient and look at what you examiner will see as they walk in the room. Include looking from the patients face and working down inc hands.
Don't mention topics unless you are willing to discuss them deeper, you can often lead yourself down the garden path.

Get through it, and have a smile afterwards.
Cheers,
Matt
