Clinical Skills exam

I had my clinical skills exams almost two weeks ago now. For the clinical skills exam I was assigned a standardized patient. I had to perform a medical interview and take a complete history from this patient. After I completed I had to also take some vital signs from this patients. We were only required to take Blood pressure and pulse. I passes my exam which was a relief as I was pretty nervous going into it not knowing what case I would get since some are more difficult to obtain the necessary information from the patient. Overall I feel I did well. I may have missed a few points to ask the patients but its all off the top of my head and there are a lot of possible questions to ask. The interview is some what dynamic as the questions I had to ask we altered depending on the previous answers I would receive from the patients. A primary inquiry could lead to secondary, tertiary, etc. Lectures ended this past Friday. Now I have two weeks to prepare for my final exams. These exams are much larger then the first three and worth 40% of the final grade. I feel I would be prepared after just one week of studying. 17 more days and I will be a quarter of the way done on this rock. Until next time...
