OSCE Clincial Methods
        (There will be 8 stations with 5 minutes allocated to each station. The purpose of the clinical examination is to elicit signs, candidates must appreciate the signs they have found and may be asked, if time permits, to form a differential diagnosis. Discussion of pathology and management is beyond the scope of this examination.)
