Episode Synopsis

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. The AMC Handbook is the intellectual property of the Australian Medical Council. To access the official material, please visit the AMC website. This episode details the case of a 28-year-old woman presenting with a breast lesion, outlining the diagnostic process and follow-up. Initial concerns arose from painful, cyclical breasts and a solitary abnormality found via ultrasound, prompting a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). The FNAC report, a crucial component, found no evidence of malignancy, confirming the lesion was benign. It then presents a scenario for a medical candidate, asking them to interpret these findings, counsel the patient about future management, and address her concerns, particularly regarding her mother's history of breast cancer.#AMC #OSCE #ClinicalReasoning #MedicalEducation #IMGs #AustralianMedicalCouncil #BreastLump #BenignCyst #BreastHealth #FNAC #Ultrasound #CancerAnxiety #WomensHealth #FamilyHistory #FibrocysticChange
