Mrcgp Pastest Free Download Pdf

[Virgil Gardiner]

EgyptMRCGP Int as far as I know requires candidates to enrol in a kind of residency training program and only those candidates can sit for MRCGP.

In contrast Dubai, South Asia, Qatar accept the past clinical experience instead of insistence for joining a training program

Every body is talking about verbal and non verbal communication, but i wanted to know how much depth they will go when we give 2-3 Differential diagnosis, and Basic investigation?

Thank you once again

I am not too sure what y mean by giving 2-3 differential diagnoses. The point of the MRCGP int or otherwise is not to come up with differential diagnosis but really to assess a person as a composite family physician. The domains that are assessed are not just diagnostic ones. It is conceivable that your differential may not quite concur with the ones that examiners have in mind but as long as they are not outlandish or far fetched they are not reason alone to fail.

Dear Dr Aziz ASA- You are our former colleague from AKUH.I work at the corporate sector. iI hope you are doing wonders at your new job. Can you provide us a list of high yield cases or diseases that we should prepare.The reason being that we are not actively practising family physicians.

Also wish to know your email address as well.

2. Paediatric cases are by proxy i.e. a mother will rpesent and say the child has constipation etc. And you have to discuss the case with the mother. Remember to add the caveat that you help is limited by the fact the child is not present but you will do your best.

I have just come to know about MRCGP intl. I did not yet find a website that properly tells about the application, exam dates, etc. Kindly, inform me of the dates of the next examination to be held in Jeddah and the process of application.

This is the application guide for South Asia, but you should make sure you have the most up-to-date application. It has the addresses to which applications are sent. They are sent to the local centres. The centre for processing applications from Saudi Arabia is Bangladesh. The responsible person is as given below an email is included.

Dear Dr Jamal

I think this book is very good, though the cases are not exhaustive the layout is very good and once you have gone through it the key thing to learn is the case approach rather than the cases.

Dr Taqi Assalam Alekum,

In your cheat sheet you have mentioned the following statements about ICE ( ideas, concerns & expectations). Should we ask our patients, all the items which have been numbered i.e no. 1,2,3,4. Are statements 1&2 synonimous i.e do we address any one or both of them from the patient.

1)Is there anything else on your mind?

2)Are you worried about anything else? [Concerns]

3) What do you think is causing it? [Ideas].

4)What would you like me to do for you today? What would you like to see happen today? [Expectations]

Thirdly is there a website where a sample prescriptions & therapeutics i.e drugs & dosages are present. I am asking this b/c my exposure of family medicine is limited as I am Occupational Health Physician. If you could pass me some notes on therapeutcs of common illnesses I will be obliged.

Can you also explain the concept of safety netting & health promotion, please give examples for other cases as well. Please explain these points given below, so that we can ably apply them.

hi ive been following ur blog long time now;its helpful in givin afair idea of the exam;i just cleared part1 in may 2010;and what do you think shall i give osce in sept itself or prepare well and wait till next march;also can you give list of common practical skills asked;i know they ask u to demonstrate use of inhalers or insulin devices;what else;also can u give a samp;le of a scenario as asked in exam;the reason why i am askin is do they mention specifically do an exam or just scenario is kept u have to decide whether to examine or not.thanx so much awaiting ur reply

Sorry to be very brief but in short: I understand they can ask you to do a blood pressure, asthma associated exam (inhaler advice , peak flow) simple exams : chest, back perhaps a shoulder. Insulin demonstration is unlikely. The most important thing to remember is that this is not a medical clinicals final exam where the exact choreography of the demosntartion is very important. Here if you missed something minor it will not be counted against you as long as it does not impair the overall score of the consultation in a signficant manner.

dear dr taqi

Secondly, you have mentioned NICE Fast Track Reference Guidelines, can you paste the link?

(Check the NICE fast track referral guidelines!)

Thirdly is there a website where a sample prescriptions & therapeutics i.e drugs & dosages are present. If you could pass me some notes on therapeutcs of common illnesses I will be obliged.

Can you also explain the concept of safety netting & health promotion, please give examples for other cases as well. Please explain these points given below, so that we can ably apply them.

Walaikumsalaam

Thank you for the question. Sorry for the delayed reply. I agree that items 1 & 2 could be synonymous, but sometimes 1 is referring to a second item or the hidden agenda, wheeras 2 would be referring to a concern they may have that prevents them from complying etc. Example: a patient comes with an area of eczema. The doctor asks: Anything else on your mind? he replies yes I have this black spot on my back that my wife is worred about. A concern would be that he is afraid to come to the doctor because his friend had a similar spot and it turned out to be cancer a year ago.

Health promotion: I will Insha Allah put up a link of the head screening guidelines, I am currently following the USPSTF guidelines which are not too dissimilar from the UK ones. But simple things: Have you have a cervical screen? Do you smoke? Mammogram? DEXA if on steroids or very old or premature menopause etc.

Thanks for your response. Appreciate if you could also give your valued response in relation to my comments above. It would also be a highly appreciable if you forward me your email address so that we can keep in touch as well.

What Dr. Taqi has said about the video recording of self is one of the most valuable tools where one can correct one self without exposing oneself to humiliation in front of others and especially for people living in isolation. If possible in my opinion the best option supervised practice in small groups.

Asking ICE is of course one of the most important part of the OSCE consultation since without covering the Idea Concerns & Expectations of the SP one cannot truly have a consultation patient centered.

Assalaamualaikum,

Buy a simple camera with video facilities and a tripod (or borrow one) and video your mock cases. Then get the marking sheet and mark yourself and get your revision team or someone who passed the exam to mark you. It will insha Allah be a very profitable and useful exercise.

If you wish to appear for MRCGP Int South Asia (Pakistan, Sirilanka, India, Bangladesh, Nepal etc) you need to have a 4 year experience of working as a general physician.

They have their own website you can look on google for MRCGP Inr South Asia.

The exam is in 2 parts. Part 1 is 200 MCQs while Part 2 is a 14 station OSCE

Dr. Taqi has probably become busy over the years and this blog is not very active.

I advise people for MRCGP Int South Asia through my Facebook page Mrcgp Riyadh. You or any other colleagues are more than welcome

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout

of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it

better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2

pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
