    Retina Case Presentation in Practical Exam: 10 Tips

    DNB practical exam is a time-bound test of knowledge, presentation skills, swiftness and presence of mind. In the exam, a candidate usually gets 4 long cases with 20 mins per case (a whole 2 minutes more than you can take to write each answer in the theory exam). That usually includes 2 anterior and 2 posterior segment cases. Although 2 posterior segment cases may seem like a daunting task, there are ways to excel the viva; otherwise, the sheer stress of exam often changes the performance, pace and quality and a lot of brilliant minds start fumbling under stress. The 20 minutes that are provided are for not just taking the case (which includes history taking and examination) but also writing the case sheet and in retina cases- a good diagram or illustration preferably on the Amsler-Dubois chart.

    Ten Tips for OSCE

    Objective structured clinical exam (OSCE) has regained popularity as a significant part of practical examinations in recent times. This is in part due to the pandemic making it difficult to hold exams with actual patients. It also removes subjective bias and is considered a fair way to examine candidates. There are certain strategies that enable the student taking an OSCE based exam to do well and score maximum points. Here are some tips Preparation stage 1. Go through images in an atlas. Most OSCEs are image-based. So pay attention to clinical features by going through as many online free atlases that are available on the internet. Practice describing findings to your study partner. 2. Go through surgical videos. Videos of surgery may be shown as part of OSCEs with a review of steps and complications may be asked as an OSCE. 3.
