|
1. LISTENING
IN THIS ONE ONLY NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND AUSTRALIAN
LANGUAGE AND NOTHING ELSE.
In it one will hear a conversation between a doctor and patient
or between two doctors.
For Eg;
Patient :- Doc, I am having fever.
Doc :- Since when have
you been suffering from fever?
Patient :- 7 days
Doc :- Any other symptoms?
Patient :- Accompanied by chills
Then one will have to answer their question, which will
be asked after allowing to hear the conversation only once.
Question :- Since when is the patient feeling ill?
(One will be given few seconds to
give the answer)
Ans:- Should be "7 days" AND not
"PATIENT IS FEELING WELL SINCE
7 DAYS" What does this mean? It means the answer should be brief!
2. WRITING
IN THIS THEY SEE YOUR WRITING SKILLS LIKE GRAMMER, SENTENCE CONSTRUCTION,COMMUNICATION SKILLS ETC
Writing a referral letter to a doctor
referring a patient.
It might be like this : You have to fix a bridge to a patient
but you hear a history of malignancy and now you are seeing white patches so you have to send it to that physician for check up.
3. READING
THEY CHECK YOU READING SKILLS AND
YOUR UNDERSTANDING IN IT
In this a paragraph based on medical grounds is given.
One has to read it and answer simple questions in it. But some may be tricky so
one shouldn't take these lightly!
4. SPEAKING
IN THIS THEY CHECK THE FLUENCY AND
THE COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
A non medico person will sit in front of
the candidate holding a page. In the page is
written some disease and another page will be given to you and in it one
will be told to go for a particular treatment, the fees would be mentioned
in it. The candidate has to CONVERSE for 10 –15 min.
For Eg;
Person :- -doc(he is reading) I am having pain in teeth from
last 5 days.cant sleep at night.it increases at night.please doc tell me what
to do
Doc :- -now (in paper it is said to convince the patient for
RCT)u have to convince the patient for that RCT.
Person :- : :- But I have no time (reading from the paper...it
can be any reason given in paper)
Doc :- < Talk and
convince the patient how important the treatment is.>
Person :- What is the charge?
Doc :-
The conversation continues.......
