Book description
The Situational Judgement Test at a Glance provides a sound
introduction to the SJT and details ways you can prepare before the
assessment. It includes worked case examples based on real-life
scenarios which have been reviewed by experienced clinicians and
examiners. The book draws out key aspects of professional practice
relevant to the role of a junior doctor. This is based on the nine
domains as outlined by the ISFP (Improving Selection to Foundation
Programme), who detailed the behaviours necessary to be a competent
Foundation Doctor.
The overall aim of The Situational Judgement Test at a Glance
is not to spoon feed hundreds of practice questions or reams of
guidelines, but to steer you towards a logical way of approaching best
medical practice - and therefore the SJT - with many examples of
doctors' personal experiences along the way.
Challenging scenarios are analysed using guidelines from the General
Medical Council and research interviews with patients, lab staff and
healthcare professionals. All examples in the book are worked in a
test-style apparatus, with questions on one side and detailed answers
over the page so you can understand the reasoning behind the material.
