OSCE

An OSCE, or Objective Structured Clinical Examination, is a practical test used in health professions to assess a person’s clinical skills. It involves a series of stations where candidates perform specific tasks, such as taking patient histories, conducting examinations, or communicating with patients. Each station has standardized patients or scenarios, and examiners evaluate performance based on set criteria. The OSCE provides a fair, objective way to measure clinical competence, ensuring that individuals can apply their knowledge and skills effectively in real healthcare situations.
