Abstract
Shoulder examination may be tested during the MRCS OSCE. This article will describe the requirements of the clinical examination part of the OSCE as well as providing the candidate with a practical structure for examination of the shoulder. Foremost in the candidate's mind should be an idea of how they will be assessed and how to accrue marks. A clinical examination station not only tests fluent clinical examination, in the domains of ‘clinical knowledge’ and ‘technical skill’, but also assesses ‘communication skills’ and ‘professionalism. Ultimately, success in the MRCS OSCE is a combination of delivery of technical skill, clinical knowledge, good communication and professionalism. A technically flawless examination performed without regard to professional behaviour and good communication is unlikely to be good enough to pass. With that in mind, this article will cover all aspects of the shoulder examination from start to finish in more detail than required to give the depth of knowledge required to excel.
