OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination)

The OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) is a practical test used to assess healthcare students and professionals' clinical skills. It involves completing a series of timed stations, each presenting a different scenario or task, such as taking a patient’s history, performing a physical exam, or communicating treatment plans. Trained examiners evaluate performance based on standardized criteria, ensuring fairness and consistency. The OSCE aims to verify that individuals are competent in essential clinical and communication skills needed to provide safe and effective patient care.
