  2. Examine Layla

  3. Outline to the examiner:

    • Your most likely diagnosis and differentials
  • You do not need to summarise your findings
  • Layla is in the waiting room: describe your examination and the examiner gives the findings on request

Examination

ChoiceHub writes these stations itself, from the ground up, across a wide range of clinical topics. They are not official exam material, and no university has written, reviewed or endorsed them. “Recommended for” only suggests the year and exam format a station suits.
