Abdominal examination - RIF pain in a young woman.MSK examination - Examination of the spine (don't forget the neurological component of the examination), Hip examination - patient may have had previous surgery!.Neurological examination - specific looking for certain cranial nerves or looking for posterior cerbellar signs, visual signs e.g.General examination (Cardio/respiratory exam - remember to examine the calves for DVTs).Therefore expect one or two pathology questions within theses stations. Anatomy stations will typically (somewhat loosely in certain cases) be related to a clinical scenario.Surface anatomy - Skull and formaina, course of cranial nerves, parotid gland and other salivary glands, quadratus femoris, rotator cuff, brachial plexus and injuries (ERBs, Klumpkes palsies) - some of examiners favourites.Pelvic anatomy - peritoneal reflections of the bladder, rectum etc.Pay attention to neuroanatomy - venous drainage of the brain (dural venous sinuses), menignes, ventricular system.Pay specific attention to upper and lower limb anatomy - Course of the sciatic nerve, popliteal fossa, femoral triangle, adductor canal (Hunters canal) - the margins/content, brachial plexus etc - Harold Ellis/Vishy Mahadevan Clinical Anatomy Book (see below) yellow clinical scenario sections contains scenarios which may be very useful in answering some of the questions encountered in the anatomy stations.Prosection (can be anything and everything).Management of a patient with acute abdominal trauma - e.g.Fistula - pathology, management (SNAP acronym) etc.Hormornes produced by the adrenal gland.Hyperkalaemia - Treatment, normal values, causes, a use of hyperkalaemia in surgery (cardiothoracic surgery/transplant).Thyroid disease - Thyroid cancer, MEN, Grave's Disease.Inflammatory bowel disease - Chrohn's/Ulcerative colitis.Clostridium DIfficile / Pseudomembranous colitis.speak to a tertiary centre regarding patient transfer, patient who is bleeding post op explian diagnosis of cancer, splenectomy) Insertion of a urethral catheter (what to do if no urine comes out after insertion).Debridement and washout of a contaminated wound.Fine needle aspiration and preparation of specimen slide.Structure of the exam and sample topics / questions Have you recently sat the exam, we would like to here from you
