Clinical examination OSCE

About OSCE

An objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is a modern type of examination often used in health sciences (e.g. audiology, midwifery, occupational therapy, optometry, orthoptics, medicine, physician assistants/associates, osteopathic medicine, physical therapy, massage therapy, radiography, athletic training, rehabilitation medicine, dietetics, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, chiropractic, paramedicine, podiatry, veterinary medicine, athletic training)
It is designed to test clinical skill performance and competence in skills such as communication, clinical examination, medical procedures prescription, exercise prescription, joint mobilisation/manipulation techniques, radiographic positioning, radiographic image evaluation, and interpretation of results. It is a hands-on, real-world approach to learning that keeps examinees engaged, allows them to understand the key factors that drive the medical decision-making process, and challenges the professional to be innovative and reveals their errors in case-handling and provides an open space for improved decision-making, based on evidence-based practice for real-world responsibilities.

An OSCE usually comprises a circuit of short 5–10 minutes stations, in which each candidate is examined on a one-to-one basis with an impartial examiner and either real or simulated (actors or electronic patient simulators) patients. Each station has a different examiner. Candidates rotate through the stations, completing all the stations on their circuit. In this way, all candidates take the same stations. the stations are standardized enabling fairer peer comparison and complex procedures can be assessed without endangering patients health.
