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.

This episode outlines a simulated medical scenario involving a 9-week-old baby, Gregory, with multiple bone fractures. The mother presents Gregory with a tender lump on his thigh and a history of rolling him off a changing table. Examination reveals a spiral fracture of the right femur and three rib fractures, approximately three weeks old, raising concerns about nonaccidental injury (NAI). The purpose of this exercise is to assess a Hospital Medical Officer's ability to diagnose and manage NAI, focusing on communication with the mother, understanding legal responsibilities for reporting suspected child abuse, and ensuring the baby's safety and appropriate care. The scenario also evaluates the candidate's empathy and their capacity to provide supportive care for a distressed mother while investigating the potential for abuse.#AMC #OSCE #ClinicalReasoning #MedicalEducation #IMGs #AustralianMedicalCouncil #InfantHealth #ChildProtection #NonaccidentalInjury #NAI #PaediatricFractures #MedicalEthics #ParentalStress
