Station - Instructions for candidate
You are a final-year medical student on placement in a general practice in Ellenbrook. The GP has asked you to see the next patient and report back.
Maricel Bautista, 31, is here with Gabriel for his routine visit, which is done. The letter on the file asks that Maricel herself be seen today.
Your tasks are to:
- Take a focused history.
- Present the mental state examination and your risk assessment to the examiner.
- State your most likely diagnosis and differential diagnoses to the examiner.
- Outline your initial management plan to the examiner.
- You do NOT need to examine Maricel or the baby; the baby is in a pram beside her and is settled.
This is a 10-minute station, with 2 minutes of reading time.
