AMC 2 Neurology station practice

Rehearse Neurology stations out loud with Vivora, EMedBuddy's live AI clinical viva - a real patient conversation, an examiner who answers your questions, and marked feedback against the AMC standard.

Example Neurology stations in Vivora

  • Sudden worst-ever headache

    You are an ED resident. Megan Foster, 40, presents with a sudden severe headache that came on two hours ago.

  • Sudden one-sided weakness

    You are an ED resident. Ron Whitfield, 68, is brought in by ambulance after his wife saw him suddenly develop right-sided weakness and slurred speech about an hour ago. He can give a limited history.

  • Severe headache, fever and a stiff neck

    You are an ED doctor. Tomas Reyes, 21, a university student, presents with a severe headache, fever and a stiff neck that came on over the last day. He looks unwell and the light is bothering him.

  • A transient neurological event

    You are an ED resident. Patricia Nolan, 68, presents after an episode of right arm weakness and slurred speech this morning that has now completely resolved.

What examiners focus on in Neurology stations

  • A clear timeline of onset and progression before reaching for a differential
  • Localising features that support your working diagnosis
  • Red flags such as sudden severe headache, focal deficit or reduced consciousness
  • Functional impact questions such as driving, falls or daily activities

Common mistakes IMGs make in Neurology stations

  • Jumping to a differential before establishing a clear symptom timeline
  • Missing a focal neurological red flag the examiner is waiting for you to ask about
  • Forgetting to ask about functional impact such as driving safety

Why practise Neurology out loud

Reading about a neurology presentation is not the same as running the station: taking a focused history, asking the examiner for findings, and giving a diagnosis and plan out loud, under time pressure. Vivora builds that fluency directly, so the real exam feels familiar rather than the first time you've said any of it aloud.

How many Neurology stations does EMedBuddy have?

Vivora includes stations like "Sudden worst-ever headache" and "Sudden one-sided weakness", part of a growing bank of 100+ AMC 2 clinical cases spanning every major discipline, including Neurology.

Do neurology stations expect me to localise the lesion?

Often, at a basic level. A clear description of the symptom pattern supporting your differential is usually enough, not detailed neuroanatomy.

Is this official AMC content?

No. EMedBuddy is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with the Australian Medical Council. Cases, responses and feedback are AI-generated and may contain errors, so always verify against current clinical guidelines.

Do I need to pay to try it?

No - every free account gets 3 Vivora case tries a week, which you can use on Neurology stations or any other discipline, no card needed.
