Collectively, these three exams are designed to evaluate competence for practicing chiropractic in Canada .  \nThe Component C exam is an OSCE format (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) . During the course of the exam, candidates will rotate through a series of 10 stations . The descriptions of the stations are provided below .  \nCandidates will be assessed on their ability to:  \n• Obtain relevant history information through a patient interview and interpret the information  \n• Perform relevant physical examinations and interpret the findings  \n• Use physical examinations to differentiate conditions  \n• Utilize history and physical examination information to formulate diagnoses, differential diagnoses, treatment recommendations, and plans of management  \n• Communicate with the patient to explain findings, diagnoses, treatment recommendations and plans of management  \n• Obtain informed consent  \n• Demonstrate appropriate chiropractic treatment skills  \n• Respond to patient questions, concerns and behaviors  \nStation Descriptions:  \nThere are six ( 7 ) categories of stations:  \n1. Patient Interview  \n2. Physical Examination  \n3. Multiple: Directed Physical Examination  \n4. Chiropractic Techniques  \n5. Patient Communication  \n6. Combined (patient interview and physical examination)  \n7. Rest Station  \nThe components and competencies expected in these stations are described in the Examination Content-Candidate Information document found on the website.  \n1. Patient Interview:  \n• Candidates are tasked to conduct a focused patient interview and take a relevant history based on the information provided on the door sign to the station.  \n• Candidates are to interpret the information to arrive at a working diagnosis, formulate plan of management, and then communicate these to the patient.  \n• Candidates may also be tasked with responding to specific patient questions.  \n2. Physical Examination:  \n• Candidates are tasked with conducting a focused physical examination based on the information provided on the door sign of the station.  \n• Candidates are to interpret the door sign information to determine the relevant tests required.  \n• Candidates should interpret the physical examination findings to come to a working diagnosis, formulate a plan of management and communicate these to the patient.  \n• Candidates may also be tasked with responding to specific patient questions.  \n• Candidates should not perform a history on the patient. All relevant history information will be contained in the clinical information on the door sign .  \n• The patients are trained to respond to physical examinations and answer questions regarding the results of tests performed (e.g. does this hurt? Where?) . They are instructed not to answer questions pertaining to history (e.g. how long have you had this concern?) . The examiner will provide findings for exams that the standardized patient cannot portray (e.g. blood pressure, pupil dilation, etc.) .  \n• If the examiner or patient does not provide any findings, then the test/procedure that a candidate has performed was likely performed incorrectly. Patients and examiners will not provide findings to a test that is performed incorrectly.  \n3. Chiropractic Technique:  \n• Candidates are tasked with demonstrating a number of adjustment set-ups based on the door sign requirements.  \n• Candidates are to demonstrate manual adjustment set-ups for high velocity low amplitude adjustments. Instrument and drop table techniques are not available as part of the exam. All set-ups to are to be manual techniques.  \n• Candidates should bring the set-up the point of tension where if completed, the adjustment would result in cavitation . Note: for patient safety and comfort through the exam day, candidates are NOT to thrust on the patients; doing so may result in failur","cbCaid9OVeIv8xuj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid9OVeIv8xuj","pdf",284788,"English","# Component C Overview\n## Exam format and rotation stations\n## Station categories and assessment focus\n# Station Descriptions\n## Patient Interview\n## Physical Examination\n## Chiropractic Technique\n## Multiple: Directed Physical Examination\n## Patient Communication\n## Combined Stations\n## Rest Station","[{\"question\":\"What is the Component C exam format and how do candidates move through it?\",\"answer\":\"Component C is an OSCE format exam.
