INTRODUCTION
 Please note that this material is not from the Ghana Medical and Dental
Council. One has no right to contact the council in case a question arises with
respect in using this material.
 This material is compiled up after careful and thorough investigations as far as
our environment and the need to pass the pre-registration exam is concerned.
 The content of this material is liable to change without prior notice hence it is
to your own interest to contact the above doctor from time to time for up dates.
 To pass this exam is not only about what you know. Is all about following
instructions, exhibiting your ability to stand pressure ,think and link ideas
diversely and frustrations etc.
 “What you need to know before sitting for the exam, how to answer the
questions, what the professors are expecting from you etc”, feel free to contact :

the exam. The other way is said to be true
You have to pay particular attention to investigations.
Questions on management do NOT necessary require you to
provide specific drug dosages such as tab paracetamol 20mg,but
in broad terms such as = Analgesics .However if you know the
specifics you can provide them in the exam but Remember it will
go against you should you get it wrong.
Look very fast than never before during the exams.
Answer all questions-PARTICULARLY the short cases section.

Don’t let fear rub you off all that you have toiled for. This part of the exam can frustrate you but grit
your teeth and be a man once for a life time.
Be confident and boost yourself up before you enter the room. It’s not the place to ask questions or
make friends. Never crack jokes. They will laugh to let you feel bad if you dare say something wrong,
so the simple rule is:
Do not attempt to answer a question you are not clear with . If you don’t know ask them to change the
question for you. Don’t ponder over questions. It will go against you.
You try and slow the rate at which you answer your questions to beat time and avoid more questions.
i.e. if you know the answer
Remember most of the questions in the viva are to insult your intelligence and test your IQ .
**Remember to read referral letters and notes first: to take history ,next examine patient and order for
investigations. Then seek review by senior colleague. *****
Always advocate the examiner. Let them feel they know all that medicine is about even if they are
wrong.
You will have 18 min to face the panel. 3 min for each subject. Don’t panic when the bell is rang. Talk
and talk till the bell is gone for a change over.
Don’t explain anything if you are not asked to do so. Define,state,list etc.
Listen carefully to the examiner to make a rightful judgment. The answers can be deduced from the
scenario they give .

Past questions
 Remember to read over and over again what your
“forefathers” left behind. Another powerful instrument
as long as passing this exam is concerned.
 Is now your turn to leave something behind for
someone else. Don’t be a curse “forefather”.
 GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Preclinical topics
 Please contact for solutions to some of the questions/topics outlined below:
 ANATOMY:
- Inguinal canal: boundries,content in males & females
- femoral canal
- cervical canal
GENETICS:
Pay attention to :
-trisomes – 21=down syndrome
13= Edward syndrome
18= paten syndrome
Their features, characteristics
- Turner’s syndrome
- Kleifelter’s syndrome
EMBRYOLOGY
 Pay attention to :
 Birth Defects
- Neural tube defects:
spina bifida, microanenchaphaly, anenchaphaly (+ their
-
intrauterine/pre-natal diagnosis) = do amniocenteses
**elevated levels of alpha feto protein in amniotic fluid.**
Down syndrome –prenatal diagnosis = low level of alpha
feto protein in maternal blood
Respiratory Distress – in neonates & premature babies
- causes + role of surfactant deficiency:
Dr .E.Boateng,2008
surfactant deficiency
 Diagnosis of lung maturation prenatally=
Ans: Amniotic fluid examination for splingomyelin ratio i.e. leathin/
splingomyelin ratio > 2 = adequate amount of surfactant, hence
adequate lung maturation.
FETAL BLOOD CIRCULATION & HEMODYNAMIC CHANGES
THAT OCCURS AFTER BIRTH & STRUCTURAL CHANGES eg:
Ductus arteriosus
Foramen ovale=fossa ovale
Umbilical vessels
Patent ductus arteriosus,early conservative management
=INDOMETHACIN.

how to answer the questions

The questions in this exams are set or asked vaguely in the viva and in the problem solving. Understanding the
principles in answering such questions is the key.
We take example 1. You enter the room , sit before the panel and you are asked
‘ACUTE ABDOMEN’.
it looks simple, Right? I tell you just a single word you’ll say can fail you but knowing the single word to say will pass you.
In such vague questions the single word is DIFFERENCIALS/causes of acute abdomen in order of importance.
The answer is differential diagnosis. Just list them. Then after commence on management if time permits you to do so.
Which will include:
Resuscitation - Analgesics half strength(to avoid diminishing of the pain before the review by resident or consultant) ,
IVF,
History, examination
Order for investigation
Seek review by consultant or resident. And Go according to their instructions.
-
QUESTN:
1. Kidney and Splenic mass
2. pleural effusion
**answer 1= clinical signs to differentiate between the two.
*Answer 2= clinical signs** look for them.
These are some of the questions I had in the viva.
-
Dr. Boateng, 2008
Example 2
 Unconscious patient?
Your approach in such cases is ‘causes/differentials. You can use the mnemonics below (hide
seeds)list them. don’t explain :
H - hypogycaemia
I - infections
D - diabetic + its complications
E- epilepsy
S - stroke
E - encephalitis
E – electrolytes disturbance
D- drugs
s –subarachnoid bleed/ space occupying lesion
Your next step is management / resuscitation:
-check ABC( airway, breathing and circulation)
Next ‘check RBS (random blood sugar) very important and correct deficits
Secure IV access ,infuse/transfuse or give oxygen as and when needed
Access level of consciousness with GCS( Glasgow coma scale)
Monitor urine output by catheterization
Take history, examination, order for investigation
Seek review by resident / consultant./rule out possible cause and treat.
The above is a question I had in the viva. You may be the next.
