Just finished the 3rd year exam. Let me give the hints ( I have passed, Alhamdhlillah)
For the clinical we have 3 components. Those are viva, long 1case and 3 short cases. You have to pass all 3 of them. In short case 2 out of 3 is ok if u have done well in others.
For the viva there are 4 components, from that 3 questions will be given to you. . Ask your seniors the last time what they ask so u can minus that topic. When they ask it just think as u are in the situation and talk n talk n talk till the alarm clock goes BEEEP, otherwise the examiner will ask another question. Of course u will be stopped if u talk too much, but it is GOOD news, u have scored in it.
Either;
1. emergency, study the all the emergency topics in the MRCP viva topic and reas the Malaysian pediatric protocol (MPP) book emergencies and what ever you have come across in the AnE
2. communication and ethics, counselling how u break bad news.
3. management ( path physiology)
4. diagnostic problem
long case, I got leysh nyhan syndrome, the first time in my life I saw it, any way I will post this advise from prof Zabidi, just read it and u may get more from his blog, Time your case, start time, 20/10/30, history exam and organize your presentation. I gave more time to for organizing because while u organize more and more question comes. Like failure to thrive, get 5 reasons for it and rule out or rule in, do some magic things like measuring mid arm circumference, examiner will like it, but make sure u read little on malnutrition also, How to diagnose the case? Read the Wayne Harris, u will get it,
Short case,
Do not forget to spray your hand, if the examiner reminds you do not panic, that does not mean he is going to fail you. Do mock exams with a senior colleque every day do one. And have a script for common cases that may come up in exam, it will work wonders, be innovative in creating the questions. Think while you examine. Think think think.
May Allah bless you all
