mock CCA today!!

Today I had my mock CCA which will be similar to the final CCAs in spring term. This time I had only one continuation patient that I had seen before and one new patient while in the real CCA I will have two new patients in a row. So it was a great experience. We had two assessors and one operator per student. It was a completely different scenario as I had never presented to these tutors. On normal clinic days were are always having a dialog with our tutors and can ask for their opinion however today it was all our responsibility and decision for what we do. My first patient was my self chosen continuation patient which went pretty well. I was asked a couple of questions whilst treating but think I managed the situation quite well. Sometimes I got very distracted that three extra people went in and out of the room... also quized by question from an unfamiliar examiner was quite a challenge. Having made this experience I plan to practice this with my study group. The idea I have in mind is that we will role play case histories, case presentation but also whilst practising technique to quiz each each other on decisions but also unrelated questions to an area we e.g. practice on in this moment. I also had to write a precise report for my continuation patient which was a great experience as we normally do not have to do this. The aim was to summaries the patients presentation, my management and progress of my treatment by today. I find this a useful step in presenting a patient to other colleagues and could also use this when I discuss patients with my colleagues as this could become helpful when I am qualified. then I am familiar with the process of writing reports not only to osteopaths but also other health care practitioners. 
I had my new patient straight after and think it went quite well as well. I am very pleased with myself. However I need to work on my time management as I hardly had time in the end for treatment. This time it was required to present in a very clear and structured way my findings and use these to back up my clinical diagnosis. We have practiced this the whole term however in a CCA situation it is so different, no help, no hints,... and the decision needs to be made promptly. 
All in all, I am very grateful that we have the change to have such a mock CCA, great experience! ....now I eagerly wait for my feedback!!!
