Where to Find OSCE Stations and Revision Guides on Geeky Medics

Updated

Geeky Medics hosts its OSCE stations, revision guides, and videos on geekymedics.com, with the free revision notes and OSCE guides sitting alongside paid question banks and case collections. If you are looking for a specific station type — counselling, examination, or clinical skills — start from the site's OSCE section rather than searching the whole domain, because the free guides and the paid practice tools live in different parts of the site.

What Geeky Medics offers for OSCE revision

The site describes itself as providing free medical student revision notes, OSCE guides, and MCQs, plus videos, OSCE stations, question banks, and AI virtual patients. In practice this splits into two layers:

  • Free layer: revision notes, OSCE guides, and videos. These are the pages you land on from search results, and they are the core of day-to-day revision.
  • Paid layer: question banks and case collections, purchased through the app subdomain (app.geekymedics.com). These are separate products with their own purchase pages.

The OSCE guide format is worth understanding before you use it. A guide such as the Myocardial Infarction Counselling OSCE Guide (credited to Yusuf Raza) is written as a walkthrough of a single station: what the scenario is, how to structure the conversation, and what the examiner is looking for. That structure repeats across the site's OSCE content, so once you have used one guide you can move between topics quickly.

Finding OSCE stations

Use the OSCE section of the site as your entry point rather than the general search bar. From there you can browse by station type:

Station type What the guide gives you
Counselling A scenario, an explanation structure, and the points a patient would expect to hear
Clinical examination The sequence of steps and the findings you should be able to elicit
Communication / history How to open, structure, and close the consultation

If you are revising for a specific exam, filter by the topic you have been assigned rather than reading stations at random. The guides are self-contained, so a single station is a complete revision unit — you do not need to read surrounding pages to make sense of one.

Finding revision guides and videos

Revision guides and videos sit in the same free layer as the OSCE guides. The practical route is:

  1. Identify the topic or condition you need (for example, a cardiovascular topic).
  2. Open the revision note for that topic first — it gives you the underlying knowledge.
  3. Then open the matching OSCE guide, which converts that knowledge into station performance.
  4. Use the video where one exists to check your timing and phrasing, which is the part written guides convey least well.

This order matters. Reading an OSCE guide without the underlying revision note tends to produce recitation rather than understanding, and examiners notice the difference when they ask a follow-up question.

Free versus paid: what you actually get

The free resources cover revision notes, OSCE guides, and videos. The paid products are separate purchases and include:

  • Textbooks (including a Clinical Examination Book and an OSCE Checklist Book)
  • Question banks for the MLA AKT and PSA
  • Case collections for ECG, ABG, blood tests, and radiology
  • An MLA AKT subscription

Each of these has its own purchase page on app.geekymedics.com. The site does not state prices on the pages referenced here, so check the individual purchase page for current cost and access terms before buying. Do not assume any paid product is included with a free account — they are listed as distinct purchases.

A practical revision workflow

For a station-based exam, a workable loop is:

  1. Learn the topic from the free revision note.
  2. Read the matching OSCE guide and note the structure it uses.
  3. Rehearse out loud against that structure, timing yourself.
  4. Check the video if one exists, and compare your phrasing to the demonstrated version.
  5. Test recall with MCQs or a question bank if you have access to one.

The common sticking point is skipping step 3. Reading OSCE guides feels productive but does not build the fluency that stations reward, because the exam tests spoken performance under time pressure, not recognition of a checklist.

When Geeky Medics is the right choice

Geeky Medics suits you if you want free, topic-organised revision notes and OSCE guides with a consistent station format, and you are willing to pay separately for question banks and case collections. It is less suited to you if you need a single all-in-one subscription covering both revision content and question practice, since those are sold as separate products here.
