Description

This podcast is based on clinical scenarios from the official AMC Handbook of Clinical Assessment published by the Australian Medical Council. All cases are used solely for study and discussion. We provide personal learning insights and clinical interpretations to support AMC candidates in developing their clinical reasoning skills.

We cover the crucial steps for healthcare providers, including taking a detailed history, performing appropriate examinations and investigations like speculum exams and STI testing. We also highlight the importance of preventing pregnancy and sexually transmissible infections through timely interventions like prophylactic antibiotics. Learn about necessary follow-up care and support services, such as counselling, emphasising the need for comprehensive care even when the patient decides against involving law enforcement.
