Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)

Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a comprehensive assessment method used in medical education. OSCE evaluates practical skills, clinical reasoning, and communication abilities in a controlled, simulated setting. It typically involves multiple stations, each testing different aspects of a candidate's clinical competence. OSCEs provide a standardized and objective way to assess the readiness of healthcare professionals, offering a realistic simulation of patient encounters. This method is widely employed in our department to ensure a robust evaluation of clinical proficiency of the students.
