Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in general practice. Your next patient is Aarohi Menon, 5. Her mother, Divya, has come in alone because Aarohi has been scratching her bottom at night and waking upset for two weeks.

  1. Take a focused history from her mother

  2. Explain your diagnosis and management plan to her mother

  • Aarohi is not present; you do not need to examine her
  • You do not need to summarise to the examiner

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.
