“Attended the two day OSCE course which was so useful and helpful! The course gave a good insight into the national exam and made us feel more confident. The course was well structured and very informative. We were given lots of scenarios to practice and gained feedback which was useful. We also practised physical examinations with the aid of ACE’s under timed conditions and received feedback. Sofia was inspirational and so helpful, she worked hard to cover everything in a short space of time and gave good feedback. She also made us feel at ease and was very encouraging. Sofia covered lots of history taking stations, hard scenarios, physical examinations, emergency stations and we practised loads. I would definitely recommend this course for final year physician associate students who are preparing to sit the national exams- it’s a must! “

“A valuable course that enables you to gain confidence in preparation for the OSCEs. Having Ace trainers was invaluable in improving clinical skills.
Finally it is good to find a course which is run by a PA”

“Absolutely brilliant 2 day course! Matrix covers every aspect of the national examination OSCEs with great resources to practice all the right techniques with equipment and mannequins. There are courses out there however none are as tailored specifically for Physician Associates.
Having a PA leading the course, telling us their own personal experiences and what they learnt from their own mistakes is such an invaluable experience.
There is also the unique aspect of having the privilege of ACEs to help thoroughly run through examination techniques as well as provide tips from their extensive experience. This course provided a great way to put knowledge into practice, refresh skills and boost confidence coming up to the national examinations, I would highly recommend it for anyone sitting the national exam OSCEs!’’
