I have said it countless times that every MRCP(UK) PACES candidate should score well in History Taking Station 2.
The encounter with two senior consultants watching over you can be excruciatingly disconcerting. I know it well, having been through it before. But there is no reason why one should not pass or better ace this station. Extracting a pertinent and cogent history is a skill that you can hone to perfection. Grab the full 10 points from each examiner. It can be done!
In this podcast, I dispense some genuine advice on how to practice taking history on a level that would make the Royal Colleges proud.
