Abstract:
The OSCE, introduced by Harden et al. in 1975, is an approach to the assessment of clinical competence in which the components of competence are evaluated in a planned and structured way, with particular attention to objectivity of the examination. The student is assessed at a series of stations, with one or two aspects of competence being tested at each station.
Overview of the history of the OSCE, description of administering the examination, and the advantages and disadvantages the method are presented with reference to our own experience.
