Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in general practice. Your next patient is Nyandeng Garang, 30, presenting with six weeks of a racing heart.

  1. Take a full history

  2. Outline to the examiner:

    • Your most likely diagnosis and differentials
    • Next steps in management, including relevant investigations
  • You do not need to summarise your findings to the examiner
  • You are not required to examine the patient

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.
