I won't give you any of the cases I had, but I'll give a few generic pointers. As pointed out, you sign an agreement not to discuss the cases.
1) for the most part, those who want OMT flat out say so or something to that effect.
2) read the PE guide on the NBOME site,
3) you may watch the video they talk about on their website, but the one they have you watch prior to the test is very, very similar.
4) write fast. While their directions are ambiguous at best for the SOAP notes (make them stand on their own) it was a challenge to write an all encompassing note in the 9 minutes they gave. I could dictate the full note, but writing it and making it legible with my handwriting was difficult.
5) refer to #2, they want a soap note, but they also want a differential dx.
6) read the info in the chart closely before going in, just in case the pt asks you about some test results.
7) wash your hands in each room.
8) before you leave the room, ask the pt if they have any other questions or concerns.
9) don't mutter under your breath what a complete waste of your time and money this test is while in the room, I hear the mics are uber sensitive.
10) have someone great you at the door at 1515 hours with a beer and a cheese-steak (preferably not with Cheeze Whiz)
11) don't get lost on the way home and wind up in Jersey,
