Remember during the run-through

After each history, write a short structured note with symptoms, history, suspicion, and procedure.

Watch reported speech, correct references, and concise medical phrasing.

Context

After the patient conversation, you must organise information in writing so it is medically and linguistically usable.

The exam part in sequence

After the patient conversation, you must organise information in writing so it is medically and linguistically usable.

Documentation connects patient language with medical reporting style.

  • BLÄK names documentation as the second FSP part.
  • In Bavaria this part is usually set at 20 minutes.
  • FSP assesses professional language, not clinical knowledge as the main object.

Do not practise it in isolation

The official structure becomes real exam preparation only through repeated language action.

  • After each history, write a short structured note with symptoms, history, suspicion, and procedure.
  • Watch reported speech, correct references, and concise medical phrasing.
