Why this matters

Station 2 consultations often hinge on a smooth pivot: from focused history and requested findings into differential explanation and management without sounding disjointed or rehearsed.

What to focus on

  • Use the first half to gather what changes management, not every theoretical detail.
  • Request findings early enough to use them in your explanation.
  • Finish with a safe management plan and an explicit check of patient concerns.

How TalkingCases fits this topic

TalkingCases is designed for the voice-compatible parts of PACES23: communication encounters and consultation encounters where you request findings and then use them in real-time reasoning.

Scope note: TalkingCases supports PACES23 consultation and communication preparation, but it does not replace standalone physical examination practice.
