Instructions

You are a medical student on placement in general practice. Your next patient is Ruby Tremayne, 12, brought in by her mother with six weeks of tummy aches.

  1. Take a full history from Ruby and her mother

  • You do not need to examine Ruby or give a diagnosis
  • You do not need to summarise your findings to the examiner
  • The examiner will ask you questions at the end

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.
