very hard to understand (due to low volume/speaking not loud enough while recording) but it is good and very useful.

Thank you soooo much, I got my PA OSCE’s next week and I needed this!

Hi, hope your exams went well :) I mean no disrespect at all: I'm a final year med student and was wondering, since there's so much debate on PAs going on at the moment, what your OSCEs consisted of? For example, this video is a COCP counselling station, as far as I'm aware, prescribing and counselling patients on medication (eg COCP), is beyond the remit of PAs. Is this not the case? Have I got something in my understanding wrong?

@benh7870 many thanks for your question and a great one too at that. I completely agree, prescribing and as such counselling of medications is most certainly beyond the scope of a PA. However, amongst other things, you will appreciate there is much to take away from such consultations including but not limited to the impact of medications including side effects and/or risk factors to certain clinical conditions. Henceforth, the delivery of teaching of pharmacology follows the same style as that for prescribers, albeit not to the same depth nor understanding as taught on the MBBS program. I hope this answers :)
